Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Third Quarter 2009

NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation

General

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Income, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity, and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of BB&T Corporation and subsidiaries (referred to herein as “BB&T”, the “Corporation” or the “Company”), are fair statements of BB&T’s financial position at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, BB&T’s results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, and BB&T’s changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations have been made. Management has evaluated the effect subsequent events would have on the consolidated financial statements through the time these consolidated financial statements were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2009.

These consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q. The information contained in the financial statements and footnotes included in BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 should be referred to in connection with these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

Effective July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance relating to FASB Codification Topic 105-10: Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“Topic 105-10”). The FASB CodificationTM is the single source of authoritative nongovernmental generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America. Topic 105-10 is effective for financial statements that cover interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Other than resolving certain minor inconsistencies in current GAAP, Topic 105-10 is not intended to change GAAP, but rather to make it easier to review and research GAAP applicable to a particular transaction or specific accounting issue.

Nature of Operations

BB&T is a financial holding company headquartered in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. BB&T conducts operations through its North Carolina chartered commercial bank subsidiary, Branch Banking and Trust Company (“Branch Bank”), a federally chartered thrift institution, BB&T Financial, FSB (“BB&T FSB”) and its nonbank subsidiaries. Branch Bank has offices in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Florida, Kentucky, Georgia, Maryland, Alabama, Tennessee, Texas, Nevada, Indiana and Washington, D.C.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of BB&T include the accounts of BB&T Corporation and those subsidiaries that are majority owned by BB&T and over which BB&T exercises control. In consolidation, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. The results of operations of companies or assets acquired are included only from the dates of acquisition. All material wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries are consolidated unless accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require otherwise.

BB&T evaluates variable interests in entities for which voting interests are not an effective means of identifying controlling financial interests. Variable interests are those in which the value of the interest changes with the fair value of the net assets of the entity exclusive of variable interests. If the results of the evaluation indicate the existence of a primary beneficiary and the entity does not effectively disperse risks among the parties involved, that primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the entity. Likewise, if the evaluation indicates that the requirements for consolidation are not met and the entity has previously been consolidated, then the entity would be deconsolidated.

BB&T has variable interests in certain entities that were not required to be consolidated, including affordable housing partnership interests, historic tax credit partnerships, other partnership interests and trusts that have issued capital securities. Please refer to Note 6 for additional disclosures regarding BB&T’s significant variable interest entities.

BB&T accounts for unconsolidated partnership investments using the equity method of accounting. In addition to affordable housing partnerships, which represent the majority of unconsolidated investments in variable interest entities, BB&T also has investments and future funding commitments to venture capital and other entities. The maximum potential exposure to losses relative to investments in variable interest entities is generally limited to the sum of the outstanding balance, future funding commitments and any related loans to the entity. Loans to these entities are underwritten in substantially the same manner as are other loans and are generally secured.

BB&T has investments in certain entities for which BB&T does not have the controlling interest. For these investments, the Company records its interest using the equity method with its portion of income or loss being recorded in other noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. BB&T periodically evaluates these investments for impairment.

Reclassifications

BB&T adopted new guidance impacting FASB Topic 810-10: Consolidation on January 1, 2009. This guidance requires that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary be accounted for as equity in the consolidated balance sheet and that net income include the amounts for both the parent and the noncontrolling interest, with a separate amount presented in the income statement for the noncontrolling interest share of net income. This guidance also expands the disclosure requirements and provides guidance on how to account for changes in the ownership interest of a subsidiary. In accordance with this guidance, BB&T retrospectively applied the presentation and disclosure provisions for all periods presented. The amounts reclassified in connection with the adoption of this guidance were not material to the consolidated financial statements.

In certain other instances, amounts reported in prior periods’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported cash flows, shareholders’ equity or net income.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change include the determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments, determination of fair value for financial instruments, valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and other purchase accounting related adjustments, benefit plan obligations and expenses, and tax assets, liabilities and expense.

Changes in Accounting Principles and Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements

BB&T adopted new guidance impacting FASB Topic 805: Business Combinations (“Topic 805”) on January 1, 2009. This guidance requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize the full fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction (whether a full or partial acquisition); establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; requires expensing of most transaction and restructuring costs; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the information needed to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. Disclosures required by Topic 805 are included in Note 2 to these consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance impacting Topic 805. This guidance addresses application issues raised by preparers, auditors, and members of the legal profession on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. This guidance was effective for BB&T for business combinations entered into on or after January 1, 2009. This guidance did not have a material impact on BB&T’s consolidated financial statements.

BB&T adopted new guidance impacting FASB Topic 815-10: Derivatives and Hedging on January 1, 2009. This guidance requires that an entity provide enhanced disclosures related to derivative and hedging activities. The additional disclosures required by this guidance are included in Note 13 to these consolidated financial statements.

BB&T adopted new guidance impacting FASB Topic 350-30: Intangibles – Goodwill and Other on January 1, 2009. This amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets under GAAP. The adoption of this guidance was not material to the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2008, the FASB issued new guidance impacting FASB Topic 715-20: Compensation Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General. The objectives of this guidance are to provide users of the financial statements with more detailed information related to the major categories of plan assets, the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets and the effect of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) on changes in plan assets for the period, as well as how investment allocation decisions are made, including the factors that are pertinent to an understanding of investment policies and strategies. The disclosures about plan assets required by this guidance will be effective for BB&T on December 31, 2009.

In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance impacting FASB Topic 820: Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“Topic 820”). This provides additional guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and

level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. This also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly and requires additional disclosures of valuation inputs and techniques in interim periods and defines the major security types that are required to be disclosed. This guidance was effective for BB&T on April 1, 2009. The additional disclosures required by this guidance are included in Note 12 to these consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance impacting FASB Topic 320-10: Investments – Debt and Equity Securities. This guidance amends GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This guidance was effective for BB&T on April 1, 2009. BB&T did not have any cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of this guidance and the additional disclosures required are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income and in Note 3 to these consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance impacting FASB Topic 825-10: Financial Instruments. This guidance amends GAAP to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim periods, as well as in annual periods. The additional disclosures required by this guidance are included in Note 12 to these consolidated financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued new guidance impacting FASB Topic 855: Subsequent Events. This provides guidance on management’s assessment of subsequent events that occur after the balance sheet date through the date that the financial statements are issued. This guidance is generally consistent with current accounting practice. In addition, it requires certain additional disclosures. This guidance was effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009 and had no impact on BB&T’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140,” (“SFAS No. 166”). The objective of SFAS No. 166 is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. SFAS No. 166 is effective for financial asset transfers occurring after December 31, 2009. BB&T is currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS No. 166.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),” (“SFAS No. 167”). The objective of this Statement is to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to provide more relevant and reliable information to users of financial statements. SFAS No. 167 is effective as of January 1, 2010. BB&T is currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS No. 167.

In August 2009, the FASB issued new guidance impacting Topic 820. This guidance is intended to reduce ambiguity in financial reporting when measuring the fair value of liabilities. This guidance was effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) after issuance and had no impact on BB&T’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2009, the FASB issued new guidance impacting Topic 820. This creates a practical expedient to measure the fair value of an alternative investment that does not have a readily determinable fair value. This guidance also requires certain additional disclosures. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. BB&T is currently evaluating the new guidance.

NOTE 2. Business Combinations

Acquisitions

On August 14, 2009, Branch Bank entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) to acquire certain assets and assume substantially all of the deposits and certain liabilities of Colonial Bank, an Alabama state-chartered bank headquartered in Montgomery, Alabama (“Colonial Bank”).

Colonial Bank operated 357 locations in Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Texas and Nevada. Excluding the effects of purchase accounting adjustments, Branch Bank assumed approximately $19.2 billion of the deposits of Colonial Bank. Additionally, Branch Bank purchased approximately $14.3 billion in loans, $165 million of other real estate owned (“OREO”) and $3.7 billion of investment securities. In connection with the acquisition, Branch Bank also entered into loss sharing agreements with the FDIC. Approximately $14.3 billion of acquired loans and OREO and $1.1 billion of the purchased investment securities are covered by loss sharing agreements between the FDIC and Branch Bank.

Pursuant to the terms of these loss sharing agreements, the FDIC’s obligation to reimburse Branch Bank for losses with respect to certain loans, OREO, certain investment securities and other assets (collectively, “covered assets”), begins with the first dollar of loss incurred. The terms of the loss sharing agreement with respect to certain non-agency mortgage-backed securities totaling $624 million provides that Branch Bank will be reimbursed by the FDIC for 95% of any and all losses. All other covered assets are subject to a stated threshold of $5.0 billion that provides for the FDIC to reimburse Branch Bank for (1) 80% of losses incurred up to $5 billion and (2) 95% of losses in excess of $5 billion. Gains and recoveries on covered assets will offset losses, or be paid to the FDIC, at the applicable loss share percentage at the time of recovery.

The loss sharing agreement applicable to single family residential mortgage loans provides for FDIC loss sharing and Branch Bank reimbursement to the FDIC, in each case as described above, for ten years. The loss sharing agreement applicable to commercial loans and other covered assets provides for FDIC loss sharing for five years and Branch Bank reimbursement to the FDIC for gains and recoveries for a total of eight years, in each case as described above.

The loss sharing agreements are subject to certain servicing procedures as specified in the agreements. The expected reimbursements under the loss sharing agreements were recorded as an indemnification asset at their estimated fair value of $3.3 billion on the acquisition date.

On October 15, 2019, BB&T is required to pay the FDIC 55% of the excess, if any, of (i) $1 billion over (ii) the sum of (A) 25% of the total net amounts paid to BB&T under both of the loss sharing agreements (i.e., BB&T’s payments received from the FDIC for losses, offset by BB&T’s payments made to the FDIC for recoveries) plus (B) 20% of the deemed total cost to BB&T of administering the assets covered under the loss sharing agreements other than shared loss securities. The deemed total cost to BB&T of administering the covered assets is the sum of 2% of the average of the principal amount of shared loss loans and shared loss assets (other than the shared loss securities) based on the beginning and end of year balances for each of the 10 years during which the shared loss agreements are in effect. In addition, any payments made by either party with respect to the securities with a 95% loss share will be excluded from this calculation.

Branch Bank did not immediately acquire the real estate, banking facilities, furniture or equipment of Colonial Bank as part of the purchase and assumption agreement. However, Branch Bank has the option to purchase the real estate and furniture and equipment from the FDIC. The term of this option expires 170 days

after August 14, 2009, unless extended by the FDIC. Acquisition costs of the real estate and furniture and equipment will be based on current appraisals and determined at a later date. Currently all banking facilities and equipment are leased from the FDIC on a month-to-month basis.

Branch Bank has determined that the acquisition of the net assets of Colonial Bank constitutes a business acquisition as defined by Topic 805. Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of August 14, 2009 are presented at their fair values in the table below as required by that topic. Fair values were determined based on the requirements of Topic 820. In many cases the determination of these fair values required management to make estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows, market conditions and other future events that are highly subjective in nature and subject to change. These fair value estimates are considered preliminary, and are subject to change for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition as additional information relative to closing date fair values becomes available. Branch Bank and the FDIC are engaged in ongoing discussions that may impact which assets and liabilities are ultimately acquired or assumed by Branch Bank and/or the purchase price. In addition, the tax treatment of FDIC assisted acquisitions is complex and subject to interpretations that may result in future adjustments of deferred taxes as of the acquisition date.

Approximately $690 million of goodwill and a $176 million core deposit intangible were recorded in connection with this transaction. The goodwill was assigned to BB&T’s banking network segment. All of the goodwill and core deposit intangible assets recognized are deductible for income tax purposes.

The following is a description of the methods used to determine the fair values of significant assets and liabilities presented above.

Cash, due from banks and federal funds sold, interest-bearing deposits in banks and the Federal Reserve

The carrying amount of these assets is a reasonable estimate of fair value based on the short-term nature of these assets.

Investment Securities

Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value estimates are based on observable inputs including quoted market prices for similar instruments, quoted market prices that are not in an active market or other inputs that are observable in the market. In the absence of observable inputs, fair value is estimated based on pricing models and/or discounted cash flow methodologies.

Loans

Fair values for loans were based on a discounted cash flow methodology that considered factors including the type of loan and related collateral, classification status, fixed or variable interest rate, term of loan and whether or not the loan was amortizing, and current discount rates. Loans were grouped together according to similar characteristics and were treated in the aggregate when applying various valuation techniques. The discount rates used for loans are based on current market rates for new originations of comparable loans and include adjustments for liquidity concerns. The discount rate does not include a factor for credit losses as that has been included in the estimated cash flows.

Core deposit intangible

This intangible asset represents the value of the relationships that Colonial Bank had with its deposit customers. The fair value of this intangible asset was estimated based on a discounted cash flow methodology that gave appropriate consideration to expected customer attrition rates, cost of the deposit base, reserve requirements and the net maintenance cost attributable to customer deposits.

Other real estate owned

OREO is presented at the estimated present value that management expects to receive when the property is sold, net of related costs of disposal.

FDIC loss share indemnification asset

This loss sharing asset is measured separately from the related covered asset as it is not contractually embedded in the assets and is not transferable with the assets should Branch Bank choose to dispose of them. Fair value was estimated using projected cash flows related to the loss sharing agreements based on the expected reimbursements for losses and the applicable loss sharing percentages. These expected reimbursements do not include reimbursable amounts related to future covered expenditures. These cash flows were discounted to reflect the uncertainty of the timing and receipt of the loss sharing reimbursement from the FDIC.

BB&T Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)—(Continued)

Third Quarter 2009

 

Deferred taxes

Deferred taxes totaling approximately $24 million, which are reflected in the other assets line in the table above, relate to a difference between the financial statement and tax basis of the acquired loans and loss share indemnification asset. Deferred taxes are reported based upon the principles in FASB Topic 740: Income Taxes, and are calculated based on the estimated federal and state income tax rates currently in effect for BB&T.

Deposits

The fair values used for the demand and savings deposits that comprise the transaction accounts acquired, by definition equal the amount payable on demand at the acquisition date. The fair values for time deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered to the interest rates embedded on such time deposits.

Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta

The fair values of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances were based on pricing supplied by the FHLB.

The operating results of BB&T for the period ended September 30, 2009 include the operating results produced by the acquired assets and assumed liabilities for the period of August 15, 2009 to September 30, 2009 and were not material to the three or nine months ended September 30, 2009. Due primarily to BB&T acquiring only certain assets and liabilities of Colonial Bank, the significant amount of fair value adjustments, and the FDIC loss sharing agreements now in place, historical results of Colonial Bank are not material to BB&T’s results, and thus no pro forma information is presented.

On October 9, 2009, BB&T entered into a definitive agreement to sell certain Nevada branch locations that were acquired from Colonial Bank and approximately $800 million in deposits. The sale is expected to close in the first quarter of 2010, subject to regulatory approval.

Other Acquisitions

During the first nine months of 2009, BB&T acquired certain assets of an insurance premium financing business and two commercial real estate servicing businesses. Approximately $9 million of goodwill and $6 million of identifiable intangibles were recorded in connection with these acquisitions.

Proceeds from sales of securities available for sale during the first nine months of 2009 and 2008 were $17.1 billion and $12.4 billion, respectively. Gross gains of $241 million and gross losses of $1 million were realized in 2009 and $136 million of gross gains and $29 million of gross losses were realized in 2008.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of the debt securities portfolio at September 30, 2009, by contractual maturity, are shown in the accompanying table. The expected life of mortgage-backed securities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay the underlying mortgage loans with or without call or prepayment penalties. For purposes of the maturity table, mortgage-backed securities, which are not due at a single maturity date, have been included in maturity groupings based on the contractual maturity.

BB&T periodically evaluates available-for-sale securities for other-than-temporary impairment. Based on its evaluations during the first nine months of 2009, BB&T recorded $40 million of other-than-temporary impairments related to certain debt and equity securities. As of September 30, 2009, BB&T had recognized $1 million of other-than-temporary impairments on certain debt securities where a portion of the impairment was recorded in other comprehensive income.

On September 30, 2009, BB&T held certain investment securities having continuous unrealized loss positions for more than 12 months. As of September 30, 2009, the unrealized losses on these securities totaled $319 million. Substantially all of these losses were in non-agency mortgage-backed and municipal securities. At September 30, 2009, all of the available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position were investment grade with the exception of (a) one auction rate security with a book value of $1 million; (b) two municipal bonds with a book value of $9 million and (c) eleven non-agency mortgage-backed securities with a book value of $890 million. All of the non-investment grade securities referenced above were initially investment grade and

have been downgraded since purchase. BB&T evaluated all of its debt securities for credit impairment. During the third quarter of 2009, BB&T determined that the non-investment grade auction rate security had credit losses evident and recorded other-than-temporary impairment. As of September 30, 2009, BB&T’s evaluation of the other securities with continuous unrealized losses indicated that there were no credit losses evident. Furthermore, BB&T does not intend to sell and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell these debt securities before the anticipated recovery of the amortized cost basis. See the “Summary Analysis Supporting Conclusions” section below for further details regarding BB&T’s below investment grade securities with significant unrealized losses.

BB&T conducts periodic reviews to identify and evaluate each investment that has an unrealized loss for other-than-temporary impairment. An unrealized loss exists when the current fair value of an individual security is less than its amortized cost basis. Unrealized losses that are determined to be temporary in nature are recorded, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive income for available-for-sale securities.

Factors considered in determining whether a loss is temporary include:

 

   

The financial condition and near–term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events that may influence the operations of the issuer;

 

   

BB&T’s intent to sell and whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these debt securities before the anticipated recovery of the amortized cost basis;

 

   

The length of the time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost;

 

   

Whether the decline in fair value is attributable to specific conditions, such as conditions in an industry or in a geographic area;

 

   

Whether a debt security has been downgraded by a rating agency;

 

   

Whether the financial condition of the issuer has deteriorated;

 

   

The seniority of the security;

 

   

Whether dividends have been reduced or eliminated, or scheduled interest payments on debt securities have not been made; and

 

   

Any other relevant available information.

For certain U.S. mortgage-backed securities (and in particular for non-agency Alt-A, Prime and other mortgage-backed securities that have significant unrealized losses as a percentage of amortized cost), credit impairment is assessed using a cash flow model that estimates the cash flows on the underlying mortgage pools, using security-specific structure information. The model estimates cash flows from the underlying mortgage loan pools and distributes those cash flows to the various tranches of securities, considering the transaction structure and any subordination and credit enhancements that exist in each structure. The cash flow model projects the remaining cash flows using a number of assumptions, including default rates, prepayment rates and recovery rates (on foreclosed properties).

Management reviews the result of the cash flow model, internal credit analysis and other market observable information in its estimation of possible future credit losses. If management does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of a mortgage-backed security, the Company records other-than-temporary impairment equal to the amount of expected credit losses in the mortgage-backed security.

Where a mortgage-backed security is not deemed to be credit impaired, management performs additional analysis to assess whether it intends to sell and it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these debt securities before anticipated recovery of the amortized cost basis. In making this determination, BB&T considers its expected liquidity and capital needs, including its asset/liability management needs, forecasts, strategies and other relevant information.

Summary Analysis Supporting Conclusions

In all instances, the senior holders of these securities have excess value through subordination inherent in the structure and the cash flow valuation was higher than amortized cost. The following table presents a detailed analysis of non-investment grade securities with significant unrealized losses that are not covered by a loss sharing arrangement. The expected loss represents the remaining current losses plus estimated future losses on the underlying mortgage pools. The subordination coverage of expected losses represents the amount of losses the subordinate security holders are obligated to absorb (original subordination less losses incurred to date) divided by the expected losses.

Covered loans represent loans acquired from the FDIC subject to one of the loss sharing agreements. Other acquired loans represent consumer loans acquired from the FDIC that are not subject to one of the loss sharing agreements.

BB&T evaluated purchased loans for impairment in accordance with the provisions of FASB Topic 310-30: Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality (“Topic 310-30”). Purchased loans with evidence of credit deterioration since origination and for which it is probable that all contractually required payments will not be collected are considered impaired. The following table reflects the carrying value of all purchased impaired and nonimpaired loans as of September 30, 2009:

 

     Purchased

Total

   $ 3,582    $ 4,864    $ 8,446
                    

As of August 14, 2009, the preliminary estimate of the contractually required payments receivable for all purchased impaired loans acquired in the Colonial Bank transaction, including those covered and not covered under loss sharing agreements with the FDIC, were $8.0 billion, the cash flows expected to be collected were $4.4 billion including interest, and the estimated fair value of the loans was $3.6 billion. These amounts were

determined based upon the estimated remaining life of the underlying loans, which includes the effects of estimated prepayments. At September 30, 2009, none of these loans were classified as nonperforming assets. Therefore, interest income, through accretion of the difference between the carrying amount of the loans and the expected cash flows, is being recognized on all purchased impaired loans. There was no allowance for credit losses related to the purchased impaired loans at September 30, 2009. Because of the short time period between the execution of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement and September 30, 2009, certain amounts related to the purchased impaired loans are preliminary estimates. BB&T expects to finalize its analysis of these loans during the fourth quarter of 2009, and, therefore, adjustments to the estimated amounts may occur.

Changes in the carrying amount and accretable yield for purchased impaired and nonimpaired loans were as follows for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009:

(1) Excludes loans held for sale.
(2) Represents the fair value of the loans at the date of acquisition.

For the purchased nonimpaired loans, excluding loans held for sale, the preliminary estimate as of the acquisition date of the contractually required payments receivable were $8.5 billion, the contractual cash flows not expected to be collected were $2.5 billion, and the estimated fair value of the loans was $4.9 billion. The difference between the carrying value of the purchased nonimpaired loans and the expected cash flows is being accreted to interest income over the remaining life of the loans. BB&T expects to finalize its analysis of these loans during the fourth quarter of 2009, and, therefore, adjustments to the estimated amounts may occur.

An analysis of the allowance for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 is presented in the following table:

(1) Covered and other acquired loans are considered to be performing due to the application of the accretion method under Topic 310-30. Covered loans that are contractually past due are noted in footnote 3 below.
(2) Excludes mortgage loans guaranteed by GNMA that BB&T does not have the obligation to repurchase.
(3) Excludes covered loans totaling $945 million as of September 30, 2009.

At September 30, 2009, BB&T had $148 million in loans that were accruing interest under the terms of troubled debt restructurings. This amount consists of $74 million in residential mortgage loans, $51 million in revolving credit loans, $20 million in commercial loans and $3 million in direct retail loans. Loan restructurings generally occur when a borrower is experiencing, or is expected to experience, financial difficulties in the near-term. Consequently, a modification that would otherwise not be considered is granted to the borrower. These loans may continue to accrue interest as long as the borrower complies with the revised terms and conditions and has demonstrated repayment performance with the modified terms.

In July 2009, BB&T Capital Trust VI (“BBTCT VI”) issued $575 million of Capital Securities, with a fixed interest rate of 9.60% through August 1, 2064 and a floating rate, if extended, through August 1, 2069. BBTCT VI, a statutory business trust created under the laws of the State of Delaware, was formed by BB&T for the sole purpose of issuing the Capital Securities and investing the proceeds thereof in Junior Subordinated Debentures issued by BB&T. BB&T has made guarantees which, taken collectively, fully, irrevocably, and unconditionally guarantee, on a subordinated basis, all of BBTCT VI’s obligations under the Trust and Capital Securities. BBTCT VI’s sole asset is the Junior Subordinated Debentures issued by BB&T which have an initial maturity on August 1, 2064 and a final maturity date on August 1, 2069. The Junior Subordinated Debentures are subject to early redemption (i) in whole, but not in part, at any time under certain prescribed limited circumstances or (ii) in whole, or in part, pursuant to the call provisions after August 1, 2014. The Capital Securities of BBTCT VI are subject to mandatory redemption in whole, or in part, upon repayment of the Junior Subordinated Debentures at maturity or their earlier redemption.

NOTE 6. Contractual Obligations, Commitments, Contingent Liabilities, and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

BB&T utilizes a variety of financial instruments to meet the financing needs of clients and reduce exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees, and derivatives. BB&T also has commitments to fund certain affordable housing investments and contingent liabilities of certain sold loans.

Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written are unconditional commitments issued by BB&T to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper issuance, bond financing and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in the issuance of these guarantees is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to clients and as such, the instruments are collateralized when necessary. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, BB&T had issued standby letters of credit totaling $8.0 billion and $5.9 billion, respectively. The carrying amount of the liability for such guarantees was $34 million and $20 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

A derivative is a financial instrument that derives its cash flows, and therefore its value, by reference to an underlying instrument, index or referenced interest rate. These instruments include interest-rate swaps, swaptions, caps, floors, collars, financial forward and futures contracts, when-issued securities, foreign exchange contracts and options written and purchased. BB&T uses derivatives primarily to manage risk related to securities, business loans, Federal Funds purchased, other overnight funding, long-term debt, mortgage servicing rights, mortgage banking operations and certificates of deposit. BB&T also uses derivatives to facilitate transactions on behalf of its clients. BB&T held a variety of derivative financial instruments with notional values of $69.6 billion and $74.2 billion at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. These instruments were in a net gain position of $382 million and $626 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

BB&T invests in certain affordable housing and historic building rehabilitation projects throughout its market area as a means of supporting local communities and receives tax credits related to these investments. BB&T typically acts as a limited partner in these investments and does not exert control over the operating or financial policies of the partnerships. Branch Bank typically provides financing during the construction and development of the properties; however, permanent financing is generally obtained from independent third parties upon completion of a project. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, BB&T had investments of $1.1 billion and $891 million, respectively, related to these projects, which are included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. BB&T’s outstanding commitments to fund affordable housing investments totaled $410 million and $412 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, which are included in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, BB&T had outstanding loan commitments to these funds of $166 million and $161 million, respectively. Of this amount, $83 million and $81 million had been funded at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, and were included in loans and leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. BB&T’s maximum risk exposure related to these investments totaled $1.2 billion and $1.1 billion at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

In the ordinary course of business, BB&T indemnifies its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law against liabilities arising from pending litigation. BB&T also issues standard representations and warranties in underwriting agreements, merger and acquisition agreements, loan sales, brokerage activities and other similar arrangements. Counterparties in many of these indemnification arrangements provide similar indemnifications to BB&T. Although these agreements often do not specify limitations, BB&T does not believe that any payments related to these guarantees would materially change the financial condition or results of operations of BB&T.

BB&T has sold certain mortgage-related loans that contain recourse provisions. These provisions generally require BB&T to reimburse the investor for a share of any loss that is incurred after the disposal of the property. At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, BB&T had $2.1 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively, of residential mortgage loans sold with recourse. In the event of nonperformance by the borrower, BB&T has maximum recourse exposure of approximately $669 million and $745 million as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. In addition, BB&T has $4.0 billion and $3.3 billion in loans serviced for others that were covered by loss sharing agreements at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, BB&T’s maximum exposure to loss for these loans is approximately $1.0 billion and $818 million, respectively. At September 30, 2009, BB&T has recorded $17 million of reserves related to these recourse exposures.

BB&T has investments and future funding commitments to certain venture capital funds. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, BB&T had investments, net of noncontrolling interest of $216 million and $168 million, respectively, related to these ventures. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, BB&T had future funding commitments of $203 million and $222 million, respectively. BB&T’s risk exposure relating to such commitments is generally limited to the amount of investments and future funding commitments made.

BB&T has made loan commitments to qualified special purpose entities as a nontransferor lender. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, BB&T had loan commitments to these entities totaling $276 million and $405 million, respectively. Of this amount, $229 million and $290 million had been funded at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, and were included in loans and leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTE 7. Intangible Assets

As a result of the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of Colonial from the FDIC, BB&T recorded goodwill and a core deposit intangible asset totaling $690 million and $176 million, respectively, at August 14, 2009. The core deposit intangible asset will be amortized over ten years based upon the total economic benefits received. Estimated amortization expense of the core deposit intangible asset for each of the next five years totals $46 million, $30 million, $24 million, $18 million and $15 million.

The goodwill arising from the Colonial transaction reflects the increased market share and related synergies that are expected to result. The amount of goodwill is the residual difference in the fair value of the net liability assumed and the payment from the FDIC for assuming this net liability.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill attributable to each of BB&T’s operating segments for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, are as follows:

NOTE 8. Benefit Plans

BB&T provides various benefit plans to substantially all employees, including employees of acquired entities. Employees of acquired entities generally participate in existing BB&T plans after consummation of the business combinations. The plans of acquired institutions are typically merged into the BB&T plans after consummation of the mergers, and, under these circumstances, credit is usually given to these employees for years of service at the acquired institution for vesting and eligibility purposes. The Colonial transaction, as an asset purchase, was handled differently from typical mergers. The retirement plans of Colonial were not assumed by BB&T, and as such, were not merged into the BB&T plans. Credit for years of service with Colonial, where given, was determined on a plan-by-plan basis with regard to the participation of former Colonial employees in BB&T’s plans. Please refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 for descriptions and disclosures about the various benefit plans offered by BB&T.

The following table summarizes the components of net periodic benefit cost recognized for BB&T’s pension plans for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively:

BB&T makes contributions to the qualified pension plan in amounts between the minimum required for funding standard accounts and the maximum amount deductible for federal income tax purposes. Discretionary contributions of $50 million and $422 million were made to the qualified pension plan in the third and first quarters of 2009, respectively. A discretionary contribution of $83 million was made to the qualified pension plan in the third quarter of 2008. Management currently has no plans to make any additional contributions to the qualified pension plan in 2009; however, management may elect to make additional contributions during 2009 if deemed appropriate.

NOTE 11. Equity-Based Compensation Plans

BB&T has options, restricted shares of common stock and restricted share units outstanding from the following equity-based compensation plans: the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (“2004 Plan”), the 1995 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, the Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan, and plans assumed from acquired entities. All plans generally allow for accelerated vesting of awards for holders who retire and have met all retirement eligibility requirements and in connection with certain other events. BB&T’s shareholders have approved all equity-based compensation plans with the exception of plans assumed from acquired companies. As of September 30, 2009, the 2004 Plan is the only plan that has awards available for future grants. Please refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 for further disclosures related to equity-based awards issued by BB&T.

BB&T measures the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants awarded during the first nine months of 2009 and 2008. Substantially all of BB&T’s option awards are granted in February of each year. Therefore, the assumptions noted below are weighted accordingly.

 

     2009     2008  

Assumptions:

    

Risk-free interest rate

     3.1     3.7

Dividend yield

     6.0        4.5   

Volatility factor

     29.1        15.5   

Expected life

     7.1 yrs      6.9 yrs 

Fair value of options per share

   $ 2.59      $ 3.43   

BB&T measures the fair value of restricted shares based on the price of BB&T’s common stock on the grant date and the fair value of restricted share units based on the price of BB&T’s common stock on the grant date less the present value of expected dividends that are foregone during the vesting period.

The following table details the activity during the first nine months of 2009 related to stock options awarded by BB&T:

NOTE 12. Fair Value Disclosures

BB&T carries various assets and liabilities at fair value based on applicable accounting standards. In addition, BB&T has elected to account for prime residential mortgage and commercial mortgage loans held for sale at fair value in accordance with FASB Topic 825: The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities (“Topic 825” or the “Fair Value Option”). Topic 820 established a framework for measuring fair value and defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received on the measurement date to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market available to the entity in an orderly transaction between market participants. Topic 820 also established a three level fair value hierarchy that describes the inputs that are used to measure assets and liabilities.

Level 1

Level 1 asset and liability fair values are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities include certain equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an active market.

Level 2

Level 2 asset and liability fair values are based on observable inputs that include: quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted market prices that are not in an active market; or other inputs that are observable in the market and can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include fixed income securities and mortgage-backed securities that are held in the Corporation’s trading and available-for-sale portfolios, loans held for sale, certain derivative contracts and short-term borrowings.

Level 3

Level 3 assets and liabilities are financial instruments whose value is calculated by the use of pricing models and/or discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as financial instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. These methodologies may result in a significant portion of the fair value being derived from unobservable data. Level 3 assets and liabilities include certain trading securities, obligations of state and political subdivisions, non-agency mortgage-backed securities, covered securities, mortgage servicing rights, venture capital investments and certain derivative contracts.

BB&T transferred approximately $1.1 billion of non-agency mortgage-backed securities from level 3 to level 2 in the third quarter of 2009 as a result of increased market activity for these securities. Conversely, market activity for certain auction rate securities decreased and BB&T transferred these securities from level 2 to level 3. The total amount of auction rate securities that were transferred during the third quarter was $235 million, which was comprised of $226 million included in obligations of state and political subdivisions and $9 million that are included in equity and other securities. BB&T also acquired certain non-agency mortgage-backed securities in the Colonial acquisition that are included in covered securities and were determined to be level 3 due to the lack of observable sales for these securities. There were no gains or losses recognized as a result of the transfers of securities between level 2 and level 3.

BB&T uses various derivative financial instruments to mitigate the income statement effect of changes in fair value due to its quarterly valuation. During the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, the derivative instruments produced gains of $72 million and $65 million, which offset the negative valuation adjustment recorded.

Also, BB&T may be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 that were still held on the balance sheet at September 30, 2009 totaled $2.2 billion. This amount consists of $933 million for impaired loans, excluding covered loans, and $1.3 billion for foreclosed real estate that were classified as Level 3 assets. During the third quarter and the first nine months of 2009, BB&T recorded $101 million and $290 million, respectively, in losses related to write-downs of the loans and $88 million and $137 million in losses related to write-downs of foreclosed real estate based on the appraised value of the underlying collateral.

FASB Topic 825-10-50: Financial Instruments requires the disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments. A financial instrument is defined as cash, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity or a contract that creates a contractual obligation or right to deliver or receive cash or another financial instrument from a second entity. BB&T has recorded certain assets and liabilities at fair value based on the Fair Value Option or as required by Topic 820. The following is a summary of the carrying amounts and fair values of those financial assets and liabilities that BB&T has not recorded at fair value:

Estimates of the fair value of these financial instruments are made at a point in time, based on relevant market data and information about the financial instrument. Fair values are calculated based on the value of one trading unit without regard to any premium or discount that may result from concentrations of ownership of a financial instrument, possible tax ramifications, estimated transaction costs that may result from bulk sales or the relationship between various financial instruments. No readily available market exists for a significant portion of BB&T’s financial instruments. Fair value estimates for these instruments are based on current economic conditions, currency and interest rate risk characteristics, loss experience and other factors. Many of these estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and cannot be determined with precision. Therefore, the calculated fair value estimates in many instances cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realizable in a current sale of the instrument. In addition, changes in assumptions could significantly affect these fair value estimates. The following methods and assumptions were used by BB&T in estimating the fair value of these financial instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents and segregated cash due from banks: For these short-term instruments, the carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of fair values.

Loans receivable and loans held for sale: The fair values for loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms and credit quality. The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair values. The fair values of loans held for sale for which BB&T did not elect the Fair Value Option are based on quoted market prices and the projected value of the net servicing fees.

Deposit liabilities: The fair values for demand deposits, interest-checking accounts, savings accounts and certain money market accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date, i.e., their carrying amounts. Fair values for certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current interest rates to aggregate expected maturities. In addition, nonfinancial instruments such as core deposit intangibles are not recorded at fair value. BB&T has developed long-term relationships with its customers through its deposit base and in the opinion of management, these items add significant value to BB&T.

Federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and short-term borrowed funds: The carrying amounts of Federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements and short-term borrowed funds approximate their fair values.

Long-term debt: The fair values of long-term debt are estimated based on quoted market prices for the instrument if available, or for similar instruments if not available, or by using discounted cash flow analyses, based on BB&T’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of instruments.

Contractual commitments: The fair values of commitments are estimated using the fees charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair values also consider the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair values of guarantees and letters of credit are estimated based on the counterparties’ creditworthiness and average default rates for loan products with similar risks. The fair values of commitments to fund affordable housing investments are estimated using the net present value of future commitments.

NOTE 13. Derivative Financial Instruments

BB&T uses a variety of derivative instruments to manage interest rate and foreign exchange risks. These instruments consist of interest-rate swaps, swaptions, caps, floors, collars, financial forward and futures contracts, when-issued securities, foreign exchange contracts and options written and purchased. A derivative is a financial instrument that derives its cash flows, and therefore its value, by reference to an underlying instrument, index or referenced interest rate. There are five areas of risk management: balance sheet management, mortgage banking operations, mortgage servicing rights, net investment in a foreign subsidiary and client-related and other risk management activities.

The following tables set forth certain information concerning BB&T’s derivative financial instruments and related hedged items at September 30, 2009:

The majority of the balance sheet management derivatives are designated as cash flow or fair value hedges. BB&T’s floating rate business loans, Federal funds purchased, other overnight funding, institutional and brokered certificates of deposit, other time deposits, medium-term bank notes and long-term debt expose it to variability in cash flows for interest payments. The risk management objective for these assets and liabilities is to hedge the variability in the interest payments. This objective is met by entering into interest rate swaps and interest rate collars and caps. Interest rate collars and caps fix the interest payments when interest rates on the hedged item exceed predetermined rates.

Cash Flow Hedges

At September 30, 2009, BB&T had designated notional values of $5.0 billion of derivatives as cash flow hedges. These cash flow hedges reflected a net unrealized gain of $9 million, with instruments in a gain position reflecting a fair value of $43 million recorded in other assets and instruments in a loss position reflecting a fair value of $34 million recorded in other liabilities. For a qualifying cash flow hedge, the portion of changes in the fair value of the derivatives that have been highly effective are recognized in other comprehensive income until the related cash flows from the hedged item are recognized in earnings. The impact on earnings resulting from the ineffectiveness of cash flow hedges was $1 million during the first nine months of 2009.

Accumulated other comprehensive income included $53 million in unrecognized after-tax gains on interest rate swaps, caps and floors hedging variable interest payments on business loans at September 30, 2009. These amounts included unrecognized after-tax gains on terminated swaps, caps and collars of $34 million at September 30, 2009. In addition, accumulated other comprehensive income included $38 million in net unrecognized after-tax gains on interest rate swaps, caps and floors hedging variable interest payments on funding at September 30, 2009. These amounts included unrecognized after-tax gains on terminated hedges of $54 million at September 30, 2009. Also included in accumulated other comprehensive income at September 30, 2009 are unrecognized after-tax gains of $3 million on terminated interest rate swaps hedging variable interest payments on long-term debt.

The estimated net amount in accumulated other comprehensive income at September 30, 2009 that is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months is a net after-tax gain of $51 million. The amount reclassified into earnings from other comprehensive income during the first nine months of 2009 was a net after-tax gain of $36 million.

All of BB&T’s cash flow hedges are hedging exposure to variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions related to the payment of variable interest on then existing financial instruments. The maximum length of time over which BB&T is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions related to variable interest payments on existing financial instruments is 6.6 years.

Fair Value Hedges

At September 30, 2009, BB&T had designated notional values of $4.1 billion of derivatives as fair value hedges which reflected a net unrealized gain of $207 million, with instruments in a gain position reflecting a fair value of $293 million recorded in other assets and instruments in a loss position reflecting a fair value of $86 million recorded in other liabilities. For a qualifying fair value hedge, changes in the value of the derivatives that have been highly effective as hedges are recognized in current period earnings along with the corresponding changes in the fair value of the designated hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged. BB&T terminated certain fair value hedges relating to its long-term debt during the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009. The proceeds received from these terminations totaled $54 million and $128 million for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, respectively, and were included in cash flows from financing activities. The impact on earnings resulting from fair value hedge ineffectiveness was a $7 million gain during the first nine months of 2009.

BB&T also held $60.4 billion in notional value of derivatives not designated as hedges at September 30, 2009. These instruments were in a net gain position with a net estimated fair value of $167 million. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are reflected in current period earnings.

Derivatives not designated as a hedge include the notional amount of $8.0 billion that have been entered into as a risk management instrument for mortgage banking operations at September 30, 2009. For mortgage loans originated for sale, BB&T is exposed to changes in market rates and conditions subsequent to the interest rate lock and funding date. BB&T’s risk management strategy related to its interest rate lock commitment derivatives and loans held for sale includes using mortgage-based derivatives such as forward commitments and options in order to mitigate market risk.

Derivatives not designated as a hedge include the notional amount of $18.7 billion that have been entered into as a risk management instrument for mortgage servicing rights at September 30, 2009. For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the $72 million gain on these derivatives is offset by a negative $59 million valuation adjustment.

BB&T also held derivatives not designated as hedges with notional amounts totaling $33.7 billion at September 30, 2009 as risk management instruments primarily to facilitate transactions on behalf of its clients, as well as activities related to balance sheet management.

At September 30, 2009, BB&T had designated notional values of $73 million of derivatives as net investment hedges used to hedge the variability in a foreign currency exchange rate.

Credit risk related to derivatives arises when amounts receivable from a counterparty exceed those payable. BB&T controls the risk of loss by subjecting counterparties to credit reviews and approvals similar to those used in making loans and other extensions of credit. In addition, certain counterparties are required to provide cash collateral to BB&T when their unsecured loss positions exceed certain negotiated limits. These bilateral limits are typically based on current credit ratings and vary with ratings changes. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, BB&T had received cash collateral of approximately $99 million and $165 million. In addition, BB&T had posted collateral of $103 million and $180 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. In the event that BB&T’s credit ratings had been downgraded below investment grade, the amount of collateral posted would have increased by $72 million and $225 million as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. As of September 30, 2009, BB&T had approximately $32 million of unsecured positions with derivative dealers. All of the derivative contracts to which BB&T is a party settle monthly, quarterly or semiannually. In the case of contracts with derivative dealers, BB&T only transacts with dealers that are national market makers whose credit ratings are strong. Further, BB&T has netting agreements with the dealers with which it does business. Because of these factors, BB&T’s credit risk exposure related to derivatives contracts at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was not material.

NOTE 14. Operating Segments

BB&T’s operations are divided into seven reportable business segments: the Banking Network, Residential Mortgage Banking, Sales Finance, Specialized Lending, Insurance Services, Financial Services and Treasury. These operating segments have been identified based on BB&T’s organizational structure. The segments require unique technology and marketing strategies and offer different products and services. While BB&T is managed as an integrated organization, individual executive managers are held accountable for the operations of these business segments.

BB&T emphasizes revenue growth by focusing on client service, sales effectiveness and relationship management. The segment results contained herein are presented based on internal management accounting policies that were designed to support these strategic objectives. Unlike financial accounting, there is no

comprehensive authoritative body of guidance for management accounting equivalent to generally accepted accounting principles. The performance of the segments is not comparable with BB&T’s consolidated results or with similar information presented by any other financial institution. Additionally, because of the interrelationships of the various segments, the information presented is not indicative of how the segments would perform if they operated as independent entities.

During the third quarter of 2009, BB&T further refined its allocation of the economic provision for credit losses. This change was retroactively applied to January 2009 and primarily impacted the Residential Mortgage Banking and Sales Finance segments, which were allocated provision expense adjustments of approximately $21 million and $(24 million), respectively, related to the first half of 2009.

The majority of the assets and liabilities, and the related income and expense of the former Colonial Bank since the acquisition date on August 14, 2009 were recorded in the Parent/Reconciling segment.

Please refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 for a description of internal accounting policies and the basis of segmentation, including a description of the segments presented in the accompanying tables.

The following tables disclose selected financial information with respect to BB&T’s reportable business segments for the periods indicated:

NOTE 15. Loan Servicing

BB&T has two classes of mortgage servicing rights for which it separately manages the economic risks: residential and commercial. Commercial mortgage servicing rights are recorded as other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at lower of cost or market and amortized in proportion to and over the estimated period that net servicing income is expected to be received based on projections of the amount and timing of estimated future net cash flows. Residential mortgage servicing rights are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as a component of mortgage banking income in the Consolidated Statements of Income for each period. BB&T uses various derivative instruments to mitigate the income statement effect of changes in fair value, which arise as a result of changes in valuation inputs and assumptions, of its residential mortgage servicing rights. The following is an analysis of the activity in BB&T’s residential mortgage servicing rights for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008:

BB&T uses assumptions and estimates in determining the fair value of capitalized mortgage servicing rights. These assumptions include prepayment speeds, servicing costs and Option Adjusted Spread (“OAS”) commensurate with the risks involved and comparable to assumptions used by market participants to value and bid servicing rights available for sale in the market. At September 30, 2009, the weighted average life was 4.0 years, the prepayment speed was 19.9% and the OAS was 3.6%.

The unpaid principal balances of BB&T’s total residential mortgage servicing portfolio were $69.8 billion and $59.7 billion at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The unpaid principal balances of residential mortgage loans serviced for others consist primarily of agency conforming fixed-rate mortgage loans and totaled $52.1 billion and $40.7 billion at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in loans on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. BB&T recognized servicing fees of $135 million and $105 million during the first nine months of 2009 and 2008, respectively, as a component of mortgage banking income.

At September 30, 2009 and 2008, the approximate weighted average servicing fee was .37% of the outstanding balance of the residential mortgage loans. The weighted average coupon interest rate on the portfolio of mortgage loans serviced for others was 5.62% and 6.01% at September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

BB&T has sold certain mortgage-related loans that contain recourse provisions. These provisions generally require BB&T to reimburse the investor for a share of any loss that is incurred after the disposal of the property. At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, BB&T had $2.1 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively, of

residential mortgage loans sold with recourse. In the event of nonperformance by the borrower, BB&T has maximum recourse exposure of approximately $669 million and $745 million as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. At September 30, 2009, BB&T has recorded $6 million of reserves related to these recourse exposures.

The Company also has securitized residential mortgage loans and retained the resulting securities available for sale. As of September 30, 2009, the fair value of the securities available for sale still owned by BB&T was $64 million and the remaining unpaid principal balance of the underlying loans totaled $62 million. Based on the performance of the underlying loans and general liquidity of the securities, the Company’s recovery of the cost basis in the securities has not been significantly impacted by changes in interest rates, prepayment speeds or credit losses.

BB&T also arranges and services commercial real estate mortgages through Grandbridge Real Estate Capital, LLC (“Grandbridge”) the commercial mortgage banking subsidiary of Branch Bank. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, Grandbridge originated $1.8 billion and $3.2 billion, respectively, of commercial real estate mortgages, the majority of which were arranged for third party investors. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, Grandbridge’s portfolio of commercial real estate mortgages serviced for others totaled $24.6 billion and $23.8 billion, respectively. Commercial real estate mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in loans on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Grandbridge had $4.0 billion and $3.3 billion in loans serviced for others that were covered by loss sharing agreements at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, Grandbridge’s maximum exposure to loss for these loans is approximately $1.0 billion and $818 million, respectively. BB&T has recorded $11 million of reserves related to these recourse exposures at September 30, 2009. Mortgage servicing rights related to commercial mortgage loans totaled $103 million and $98 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

competitive pressures among depository and other financial institutions may increase significantly;

 

   

legislative or regulatory changes, including changes in accounting standards, may adversely affect the businesses in which BB&T is engaged;

 

   

local, state or federal taxing authorities may take tax positions that are adverse to BB&T;

 

   

adverse changes may occur in the securities markets;

 

   

competitors of BB&T may have greater financial resources and develop products that enable them to compete more successfully than BB&T;

 

   

unpredictable natural and other disasters could have an adverse effect on BB&T in that such events could materially disrupt its operations or the ability or willingness of its customers to access the financial services offered by BB&T;

 

   

costs or difficulties related to the integration of the businesses of BB&T and its merger partners may be greater than expected;

 

   

expected cost savings associated with completed mergers or acquisitions may not be fully realized or realized within the expected time frames; and

 

   

deposit attrition, customer loss and/or revenue loss following completed mergers may be greater than expected.

Regulatory Considerations

BB&T and its subsidiaries and affiliates are subject to numerous examinations by federal and state banking regulators, as well as the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and various state insurance and securities regulators. BB&T and its subsidiaries have from time to time received requests for information from regulatory authorities in various states, including state insurance commissions and state attorneys general, securities regulators and other regulatory authorities, concerning their business practices. Such requests are considered incidental to the normal conduct of business. Please refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 for additional disclosures with respect to laws and regulations affecting the Company’s businesses.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis—(Continued)

Third Quarter 2009

 

As part of the U.S. Federal government’s Financial Stability Plan, on February 25, 2009, the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “U.S. Treasury”) announced preliminary details regarding the Capital Assistance Program (the “CAP”), which, according to the U.S. Treasury, is designed to restore confidence throughout the financial system that the largest U.S. banking institutions will have a sufficient capital cushion for larger than expected potential future losses, should they occur due to a more severe economic environment, and to support lending to creditworthy borrowers. Pursuant to the CAP, the capital needs of major U.S. banking institutions were evaluated to determine whether an additional capital buffer is warranted and, if warranted, the U.S. Treasury committed to make capital available to eligible institutions if they are unable to raise the necessary capital through private sources.

To implement the CAP, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Reserve Banks, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency commenced a review of the capital needs of the largest U.S. banking institutions. This review was called the Supervisory Capital Assessment Program (the “SCAP”). The SCAP review process involved a forward-looking capital assessment, or “stress test”, of all domestic bank holding companies with assets of more than $100 billion at December 31, 2008, which includes BB&T. The stress test was intended to estimate credit losses, revenues and reserve needs for each of these bank holding companies in 2009 and 2010 under a macroeconomic scenario that reflected a consensus expectation for the depth and duration of the recession and a more adverse scenario that was designed to reflect a recession that was longer and more severe than consensus expectations.

On May 7, 2009 the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System announced the results of the final SCAP assessments for the 19 largest U.S. bank holding companies, including BB&T. The SCAP assessment for BB&T indicated that BB&T did not need to raise additional capital.

On June 17, 2009, BB&T repurchased all 3,133.64 shares of its Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C, $1,000,000 liquidation preference per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) issued to the U.S. Treasury on November 14, 2008, as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program – Capital Purchase Program (the “Capital Purchase Program”). The aggregate purchase price paid to the U.S. Treasury for the Series C Preferred Stock was approximately $3.1 billion, including approximately $14 million of accrued and unpaid dividends. On July 22, 2009, BB&T repurchased the warrant to purchase up to 13,902,573 shares of its common stock for $67 million, which was also issued to the U.S. Treasury on November 14, 2008, as part of the Capital Purchase Program.

Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of BB&T Corporation and its subsidiaries are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and conform to the accounting and reporting guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities. BB&T’s financial position and results of operations are affected by management’s application of accounting policies, including estimates, assumptions and judgments made to arrive at the carrying value of assets and liabilities and amounts reported for revenues and expenses. Different assumptions in the application of these policies could result in material changes in BB&T’s consolidated financial position and/or consolidated results of operations and related disclosures. The more critical accounting and reporting policies include BB&T’s accounting for the allowance for loan and lease losses and reserve for unfunded lending commitments, determining fair value of financial instruments, intangible assets and other purchase accounting related adjustments associated with mergers and acquisitions, costs and benefit obligations associated with BB&T’s pension and postretirement benefit plans, and income taxes. Understanding BB&T’s accounting policies is fundamental to understanding BB&T’s consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations. Accordingly, BB&T’s significant accounting policies and

Table of Contents

Management’s Discussion and Analysis—(Continued)

Third Quarter 2009

 

changes in accounting principles are discussed in detail in Note 1 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

The following is a summary of BB&T’s critical accounting policies that are highly dependent on estimates, assumptions and judgments. These critical accounting policies are reviewed with the Audit Committee of BB&T’s board of directors on a periodic basis.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Lending Commitments

It is the policy of BB&T to maintain an allowance for loan and lease losses and a reserve for unfunded lending commitments that represent management’s best estimate of probable credit losses that are inherent in the portfolio at the balance sheet date. Estimates for loan and lease losses are determined by analyzing historical loan and lease losses, historical loan and lease migration to charge-off experience, current trends in delinquencies and charge-offs, current assessment of problem loan and lease administration, the results of regulatory examinations, and changes in the size, composition and risk assessment of the loan and lease portfolio. Also included in management’s estimates for loan and lease losses are considerations with respect to the impact of current economic events, the outcomes of which are uncertain. These events may include, but are not limited to, fluctuations in overall interest rates, political conditions, legislation that may directly or indirectly affect the banking industry and economic conditions affecting specific geographical areas and industries in which BB&T conducts business. The methodology used to determine an estimate for the reserve for unfunded lending commitments is inherently similar to the methodology used in calculating the allowance for loans and leases adjusted for factors specific to binding commitments, including the probability of funding and exposure at the time of funding.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

A significant portion of BB&T’s assets and certain liabilities are financial instruments carried at fair value. This includes securities available for sale, trading securities, derivatives, certain loans held for sale, residential mortgage servicing rights, certain short-term borrowings and venture capital investments. At September 30, 2009, the percentage of total assets and total liabilities measured at fair value was 24.1% and less than 1%, respectively. The vast majority of assets and liabilities carried at fair value are based on either quoted market prices or market prices for similar instruments. At September 30, 2009, 4.5% of assets measured at fair value were based on significant unobservable inputs. This represents 1.1% of BB&T’s total assets. See Note 12 “Fair Value Disclosures” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” herein for additional disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments.

Securities

The fair values of available-for-sale and trading securities are generally based upon quoted market prices or observable market prices for similar instruments. These values take into account recent market activity as well as other market observable data such as interest rate, spread and prepayment information. When market observable data is not available, which generally occurs due to the lack of liquidity for certain securities, the valuation of the security is subjective and may involve substantial judgment. As of September 30, 2009, BB&T had approximately $884 million of available-for-sale and trading securities, which is less than 1% of total assets, valued using unobservable inputs. These securities were primarily non-agency mortgage-backed securities. BB&T conducts periodic reviews to identify and evaluate each available-for-sale security that has an unrealized loss for other-than-temporary impairment. An unrealized loss exists when the current fair value of an individual security is less than its amortized cost basis. The primary factors BB&T considers in determining whether an

impairment is other-than-temporary are the financial condition and near–term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer and BB&T’s intent to sell and whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these debt securities before the anticipated recovery of the amortized cost basis.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

BB&T has a significant mortgage loan servicing portfolio and related mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”). BB&T has two classes of MSRs for which it separately manages the economic risk: residential and commercial. Residential MSRs are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as a component of mortgage banking income each period. BB&T uses various derivative instruments to mitigate the income statement effect of changes in fair value, due to changes in valuation inputs and assumptions, of its residential MSRs. MSRs do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. While sales of MSRs do occur, the precise terms and conditions typically are not readily available. Accordingly, BB&T estimates the fair value of residential MSRs using an option adjusted spread (“OAS”) valuation model to project MSR cash flows over multiple interest rate scenarios, which are then discounted at risk-adjusted rates. The OAS model considers portfolio characteristics, contractually specified servicing fees, prepayment assumptions, delinquency rates, late charges, other ancillary revenue, costs to service and other economic factors. BB&T reassesses and periodically adjusts the underlying inputs and assumptions in the OAS model to reflect market conditions and assumptions that a market participant would consider in valuing the MSR asset. When available, fair value estimates and assumptions are compared to observable market data and to recent market activity and actual portfolio experience. Due to the nature of the valuation inputs, MSRs are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The value of MSRs is significantly affected by mortgage interest rates available in the marketplace, which influence mortgage loan prepayment speeds. In general, during periods of declining interest rates, the value of MSRs declines due to increasing prepayments attributable to increased mortgage-refinance activity. Conversely, during periods of rising interest rates, the value of MSRs generally increases due to reduced refinance activity. Commercial MSRs are carried at lower of cost or market and amortized over the estimated period that servicing income is expected to be received based on projections of the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows. The amount and timing of servicing asset amortization is updated based on actual results and updated projections.

Loans Held for Sale

BB&T originates certain mortgage loans to be sold to investors. The majority of these loans are carried at fair value upon the election of the Fair Value Option. For these loans, the fair value is primarily based on quoted market prices for securities backed by similar types of loans. Changes in the fair value are recorded as a component of mortgage banking income while mortgage loan origination costs for loans held for sale for which the Corporation elected the Fair Value Option are recognized in noninterest expense when incurred. The changes in fair value of these assets are largely driven by changes in interest rates subsequent to loan funding and changes in the fair value of servicing associated with the mortgage loan held for sale. BB&T uses various derivative instruments to mitigate the income statement effect of changes in fair value of the underlying loans.

Derivatives

BB&T uses derivatives to manage various financial risks. The fair values of derivative financial instruments are determined based on quoted market prices, dealer quotes and internal pricing models that are primarily sensitive to market observable data. BB&T mitigates the credit risk by subjecting counterparties to credit reviews and approvals similar to those used in making loans and other extensions of credit. In addition, certain

counterparties are required to provide collateral to BB&T when their unsecured loss positions exceed certain negotiated limits. The fair value of interest rate lock commitments, which are related to mortgage loan commitments, is based on quoted market prices adjusted for commitments that BB&T does not expect to fund and includes the value attributable to the net servicing fee.

Venture Capital Investments

BB&T has venture capital investments that are carried at fair value. Changes in the fair value of these investments are recorded in other noninterest income each period. In many cases there are no observable market values for these investments and therefore management must estimate the fair value based on a comparison of the operating performance of the company to multiples in the marketplace for similar entities. This analysis requires significant judgment and actual values in a sale could differ materially from those estimated. As of September 30, 2009, BB&T had $229 million of venture capital investments, which is less than 1% of total assets.

Intangible Assets

BB&T’s mergers and acquisitions are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method, BB&T is required to record the assets acquired, including identified intangible assets, and liabilities assumed at their fair value, which often involves estimates based on third party valuations, such as appraisals, or internal valuations based on discounted cash flow analyses or other valuation techniques, which are inherently subjective. The amortization of identified intangible assets is based upon the estimated economic benefits to be received, which is also subjective. Acquisitions typically result in goodwill, which is subject to ongoing periodic impairment tests based on the fair value of net assets acquired compared to their carrying value. The major assumptions used in the impairment testing process include the estimated future cash flows of each business unit and discount rates. Discount rates are unique to each business unit and are based upon the cost of capital specific to the industry in which the business unit operates. As a result of the challenging economic environment and the decline in market capitalization, the excess of the fair value over the carrying value of several reporting units has narrowed. A continuing period of depressed market conditions, or further market deterioration, may result in impairment of goodwill in the future.

Pension and Postretirement Benefit Obligations

BB&T offers various pension plans and postretirement benefit plans to employees. The calculation of the obligations and related expenses under these plans requires the use of actuarial valuation methods and assumptions. Actuarial assumptions used in the determination of future values of plan assets and liabilities are subject to management judgment and the valuations may differ significantly if different assumptions are used.

Income Taxes

The calculation of BB&T’s income tax provision is complex and requires the use of estimates and judgments. As part of the Company’s analysis and implementation of business strategies, consideration is given to the tax laws and regulations that apply to the specific facts and circumstances for any tax position under evaluation. For tax positions that are uncertain in nature, management determines whether the tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. For tax positions that meet this threshold, management then estimates the amount of the tax benefit to recognize in the financial statements. Management closely monitors tax developments in order to evaluate the effect they may have on the Company’s overall tax position and the estimates and judgments used in determining the income tax provision and records adjustments as necessary.

Third Quarter 2009

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Consolidated net income for the third quarter of 2009 totaled $157 million, down $205 million, or 56.6%, compared to $362 million earned during the third quarter of 2008. On a diluted per common share basis, earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were $.23, compared to $.65 for the same period in 2008, a decrease of 64.6%. BB&T’s results of operations for the third quarter of 2009 produced an annualized return on average assets of .40% and an annualized return on average common shareholders’ equity of 3.90% compared to prior year ratios of 1.05% and 10.86%, respectively.

Consolidated net income for the first nine months of 2009 totaled $683 million, a decrease of $539 million, or 44.1%, compared to $1.2 billion earned during the first nine months of 2008. Consolidated net income available to common shareholders for the first nine months of 2009 totaled $544 million, a decrease of $670 million, or 55.2%, compared to $1.2 billion earned during the same period in 2008. On a diluted per common share basis, earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $.88, compared to $2.20 for the same period in 2008, a decrease of 60.0%. BB&T’s results of operations for the first nine months of 2009 produced an annualized return on average assets of .60% and an annualized return on average common shareholders’ equity of 5.09% compared to prior year ratios of 1.21% and 12.46%, respectively.

Results of operations for the third quarter of 2009 included a $25 million (pretax) contingency reserve and a $12 million benefit to the provision for income tax related to leveraged lease transactions. In addition to these items, results of operations for the first nine months of 2009 and 2008 included the following significant items. The first nine months of 2009 included a $68 million (pretax) FDIC special assessment, $47 million in accelerated amortization on the preferred stock repaid to the Treasury and $41 million (pretax) in gains from the early extinguishment of debt. Also in the first nine months of 2009, BB&T recorded securities gains of $200 million (pretax), which was net of $40 million (pretax) of other-than-temporary impairment charges, compared to $66 million (pretax) of securities gains, net of $41 million (pretax) other-than-temporary impairment charges, during the same period of 2008. In addition, during the first nine months of 2008, BB&T recorded $15 million of charges resulting from valuation adjustments for bank-owned life insurance, $17 million (pretax) of additional income in connection with the implementation of fair value accounting standards, $37 million (pretax) in gains on the early extinguishment of debt and a $94 million (pretax) increase in income associated with the initial public offering by Visa, Inc. including a $14 million (pretax) reversal of a previously recorded liability.

On August 14, 2009, BB&T acquired certain assets and assumed substantially all of the deposits and certain other liabilities of Colonial Bank (“Colonial”), headquartered in Montgomery, Alabama, from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), as receiver for Colonial. Colonial operated 357 banking offices in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Texas and Nevada. The acquisition significantly strengthened BB&T’s banking franchise, moving BB&T to fifth in deposit market share in Florida and fourth in Alabama. BB&T issued 38.5 million shares of common stock to the investing public at $26 per share in connection with the Colonial acquisition to further strengthen BB&T’s capital levels. Please refer to Note 2 “Business Combinations” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional disclosures about the Colonial acquisition.

BB&T’s total assets at September 30, 2009 were $165.3 billion, an increase of $13.3 billion, or 8.8%, compared to December 31, 2008. Total loans and leases at September 30, 2009 were $107.0 billion, an increase of $8.4 billion, or 8.5%, compared to the balance at year-end. The increase in total loans and leases included increases of $1.7 billion in loans held for sale and $8.3 billion in covered loans acquired in the Colonial transaction. Securities available for sale increased $1.3 billion compared to the balances at December 31, 2008. In addition, BB&T recorded a $3.3 billion receivable from the FDIC in connection with the Colonial acquisition. The FDIC receivable represents the fair value of amounts expected to be received under the agreement with the FDIC, whereby the FDIC will reimburse BB&T for the vast majority of losses on the assets acquired.

Third Quarter 2009

 

Total client deposits at September 30, 2009, were $103.7 billion, an increase of $20.2 billion, or 24.1%, from December 31, 2008. Total deposits, which include wholesale deposits sources, totaled $114.5 billion at September 30, 2009, an increase of $15.9 billion, or 16.1%, compared to December 31, 2008. The increase in client deposits was a result of the Colonial acquisition as well as BB&T’s success in attracting new accounts. BB&T also has seen an improvement in the deposit mix, with noninterest-bearing accounts representing 18.0% of total client deposits at September 30, 2009, compared with 16.3% at December 31, 2008.

Total shareholders’ equity increased slightly compared to December 31, 2008. BB&T’s common equity increased as a result of the issuance of $2.6 billion in common stock during the second and third quarters of 2009, which was offset by the repayment of the $3.1 billion of preferred stock issued to the U.S. Treasury. The Tier 1 common ratio was 8.4% at September 30, 2009 and June 30, 2009. In addition, the Tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital ratios were 11.1% and 15.6% at September 30, 2009, respectively, compared to 10.6% and 15.2%, respectively, at June 30, 2009. The improvement in the regulatory capital levels reflects the common stock issuance. BB&T’s risk-based and tangible capital ratios remain well above regulatory standards for well-capitalized banks. As of September 30, 2009, measures of tangible capital were not required by the regulators and, therefore, were considered non-GAAP measures. Please refer to the section titled “Capital Adequacy and Resources” herein for a discussion of how BB&T calculates and uses these measures in the evaluation of the Company.

Early stage delinquencies and net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2009 were largely stable compared to the second quarter of 2009, while nonperforming assets and credit costs continued to increase during the third quarter of 2009. BB&T recorded a $709 million provision for credit losses in the third quarter of 2009, which exceeded net charge-offs by $263 million. This compared to a $364 million provision for credit losses recorded during the third quarter of 2008. For the first nine months of 2009, the provision for credit losses totaled $2.1 billion, compared to $917 million for the same period of 2008. The increases in nonperforming assets and the provision for credit losses were driven by continued deterioration in housing-related credits. The largest concentration of housing-related credit issues continues to be in Georgia, Florida and metropolitan Washington, D.C., including the surrounding suburbs.

BB&T’s underlying business continued to perform reasonably well during the third quarter of 2009, with total revenues up 16.1% compared with the third quarter of 2008. The increase in revenues included another very strong quarter from residential mortgage banking operations and improvement in the net interest margin. The net interest margin improved to 3.68% in the third quarter of 2009 and management anticipates additional improvement in the net interest margin as a result of the Colonial acquisition. Noninterest expenses were up in the third quarter of 2009 compared to 2008, primarily due to growth resulting from acquisitions, increased foreclosed property expense, higher FDIC insurance premiums and increased pension costs.

In addition to the Colonial acquisition, BB&T continued to expand its noninterest revenue producing business through the acquisitions of Dallas, Texas-based Quantum First Capital, LTD and Louisville, Kentucky-based BFG Realty Advisors, LLC. Both firms were acquired by BB&T’s wholly-owned subsidiary Grandbridge Real Estate Capital LLC.

Please refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, for additional information with respect to BB&T’s recent accomplishments and significant challenges. The factors causing the fluctuations in the major balance sheet and income statement categories for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 compared to the corresponding periods of 2008 are further discussed in the following sections.

Third Quarter 2009

 

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

Securities

Securities available for sale totaled $34.1 billion at September 30, 2009, an increase of $1.3 billion, or 3.9%, compared with December 31, 2008. This increase includes $1.2 billion in securities acquired in the Colonial transaction that are covered by one of the FDIC loss share agreements. Trading securities totaled $686 million, up $310 million, compared with the balance at December 31, 2008. BB&T’s trading portfolio may fluctuate significantly from period to period based on market conditions, which affect the timing of purchases and sales of securities classified as trading.

Average total securities for the third quarter of 2009 was $32.6 billion, an increase of $8.5 billion, or 35.4%, compared with the average balance during the third quarter of 2008. Average total securities for the first nine months of 2009 was $31.5 billion, an increase of $7.7 billion, or 32.4%, compared with the average balance during the first nine months of 2008. The growth in average securities primarily reflects the deployment in the fourth quarter of 2008 of the capital invested by the U.S. Treasury. While BB&T repaid the capital invested by the U.S. Treasury during the second quarter of 2009, it issued other forms of capital and has retained a higher level of securities. Currently, management is not reinvesting cash flows from the securities portfolio and expects the size of the portfolio as a percentage of total earnings assets to decline in the future.

BB&T sold a total of $17.1 billion in available-for-sale securities during the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, including $2.4 billion of securities acquired in the Colonial acquisition, which produced net securities gains of $240 million, none of which related to the sales from the Colonial acquisition. In addition, BB&T recorded $40 million in charges for other-than-temporary impairment related to certain debt and equity securities. During the first quarter of 2009, BB&T took advantage of an opportunity to shorten the duration of its securities portfolio and realize gains in certain mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government-sponsored entities. While these mortgage-backed securities have higher yields, they have a longer duration and government efforts to drive down mortgage rates increased the risk of early prepayment. The majority of the proceeds from these sales were reinvested in similar securities with shorter durations early in the second quarter of 2009.

The annualized fully taxable equivalent (“FTE”) yield on the average securities portfolio for the third quarter of 2009 was 4.18%, which represents a decrease of 85 basis points compared to the annualized yield earned during the third quarter of 2008. The annualized FTE yield on the average securities portfolio for the first nine months of 2009 was 4.35%, which represents a decrease of 72 basis points compared to the annualized yield earned during the first nine months of 2008. The decrease in the annualized FTE yield on the average securities portfolio was primarily the result of reinvesting the sales from the first quarter of 2009 into shorter duration securities. Other than this, the FTE yield benefited from the addition of the securities acquired in the Colonial transaction.

On September 30, 2009, BB&T held certain investment securities having continuous unrealized loss positions for more than 12 months. As of September 30, 2009, the unrealized losses on these securities totaled $319 million. Substantially all of these losses were in non-agency mortgage-backed and municipal securities. At September 30, 2009, all of the available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position were investment grade with the exception of one auction rate security with a book value of $1 million, two municipal bonds with a book value of $9 million and eleven non-agency mortgage-backed securities with a book value of $890 million. All of the non-investment grade securities referenced above were initially investment grade and have been downgraded since purchase. BB&T evaluated all of its debt securities for credit impairment. During the third quarter of 2009, BB&T determined that the auction rate security had credit losses evident and recorded

other-than-temporary impairment. As of September 30, 2009, BB&T’s evaluation of the other securities with continuous unrealized losses indicated that there were no credit losses evident. Furthermore, BB&T does not intend to sell and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell these debt securities before the anticipated recovery of the amortized cost basis.

See Note 3 “Securities” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” herein for additional disclosures related to BB&T’s evaluation of securities for other-than-temporary impairment.

Loans and Leases

BB&T emphasizes commercial lending to small and medium-sized businesses, consumer lending, mortgage lending and specialized lending with an overall goal of maximizing the profitability of the loan portfolio, maintaining strong asset quality and achieving an equal mix of consumer and commercial loans. For the third quarter of 2009, average total loans were $103.3 billion, an increase of $7.4 billion, or 7.7%, compared to the same period in 2008. For the first nine months of 2009, average total loans were $100.9 billion, an increase of $6.4 billion, or 6.7%, compared to the same period in 2008. The growth in average loans includes the impact of the Colonial acquisition, which added approximately $9.6 billion in loans as of August 14, 2009.

The following table presents the composition of average loans and leases for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively:

Average commercial loans and leases were up 3.7% and 7.2% for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2009, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of 2008. Growth in commercial lending remained slow during the third quarter of 2009, as clients continue to restrict their expansion plans until there is more certainty in the economic outlook. In addition, BB&T has intentionally lowered its exposure to real estate lending, which has resulted in lower balances. These factors have been somewhat offset by significant growth in 2009 in lending relationships with healthcare and governmental entities, due to BB&T’s strong capital position and credit ratings.

Average direct retail loans declined 7.0% and 4.9% for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2009, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of 2008. This portfolio is primarily home equity loans and lines to individuals and has been negatively affected by the downturn in the residential real estate markets.

Average mortgage loans held for investment declined 10.2% and 7.4% for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2009, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of 2008. The decline in average mortgage loans is primarily due to the vast majority of new residential mortgage originations being sold in the secondary market. Average loans held for sale, which is primarily residential mortgage loans, increased 126.8% and 113.0% for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2008.

Average specialized lending loans increased 33.5% and 29.4% for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2009, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of 2008. Growth in specialized lending has primarily been in insurance premium finance lending, equipment finance leases and automobile loans. This includes the acquisition of assets of an insurance premium finance business on February 2, 2009, which added approximately $715 million in loans.

The annualized FTE yield for the total loan portfolio for the third quarter of 2009 was 5.52% compared to 6.28% in the third quarter of 2008. The annualized yield on commercial loans for the third quarter of 2009 was 4.29%, a decline of 113 basis points compared to the same period in 2008, while the annualized yield on direct retail loans for the third quarter of 2009 was 5.43% compared to 6.35% in the same period in 2008. The annualized FTE yield on the total loan portfolio for the first nine months of 2009 was 5.46%, which reflects a

decrease of 108 basis points compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease in the FTE yield on the loan portfolio was primarily the result of the repricing of loans in response to the decreases in the prime lending rate and other indices, as well as a higher level of nonperforming loans in 2009 as compared to 2008. These declines were partially offset by wider loan spreads on new originations and the Colonial acquisition.

Other Interest-Earning Assets

Federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements or similar arrangements totaled $520 million at September 30, 2009, an increase of $170 million compared to December 31, 2008, while interest-bearing deposits with banks, including segregated cash, decreased $265 million compared to year-end 2008. The average yield on other interest-earning assets was .51% for the third quarter of 2009 compared to 2.61% for the third quarter of 2008. The average yield on other interest-earning assets was .66% for the first nine months of 2009, compared to 2.88% for the same period in 2008, reflecting the decline in the Federal funds target rate during 2008.

Noninterest-Earning Assets

BB&T’s other noninterest-earning assets, including premises and equipment, goodwill, core deposit and other intangible assets, residential mortgage servicing rights, FDIC loss share receivable and noninterest-bearing cash and due from banks, increased $4.3 billion from December 31, 2008 to September 30, 2009. The growth in this category was primarily due to the goodwill, core deposit intangible and the FDIC loss share receivable recorded for the Colonial acquisition.

Deposits

Deposits totaled $114.5 billion at September 30, 2009, an increase of $15.9 billion, or 16.1%, from December 31, 2008. The increase includes the Colonial acquisition. Client deposits generated through the BB&T banking network are the largest source of funds used to support asset growth. Client deposits totaled $103.7 billion at September 30, 2009, an increase of $20.2 billion, or 24.1%, from December 31, 2008. During the first nine months of 2009, BB&T opened approximately 59,000 net new transaction deposit accounts through its retail branch, online and Phone 24 delivery channels.

Average deposits for the third quarter of 2009 increased $17.3 billion, or 19.2%, compared to the same period in 2008. The categories of deposits with the highest growth for the third quarter of 2009 compared to the third quarter of 2008 were other client deposits, which includes money rate savings accounts, investor deposit accounts, savings accounts, individual retirement accounts and other time deposits, which increased $8.7 billion, or 22.6%, and noninterest-bearing deposits, which increased $4.2 billion, or 31.9%. Client certificates of deposit and other interest-bearing deposits, which consist of negotiable certificates of deposit and Eurodollar deposits, also increased $2.8 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, compared to the third quarter of 2008.

Average deposits for the first nine months of 2009 increased $10.8 billion, or 12.3%, compared to the first nine months of 2008. The categories of deposits with the highest average rates of growth for the first nine months of 2009 compared to the same period of 2008 were other client deposits, which increased $7.3 billion, or 20.3%, and noninterest-bearing deposits which increased $2.6 billion, or 19.9%.

The overall mix of deposits continues to improve, as average client deposits grew 20.1% in the third quarter of 2009, a faster pace than other interest-bearing deposits, due to strong growth in noninterest-bearing and other client deposits, which was aided by the Colonial acquisition. BB&T has been successful in attracting new business and individual accounts by emphasizing the strength of BB&T’s franchise. In addition, noninterest-bearing deposit growth has benefited from participation in the Transaction Account Guarantee program and an increase in escrow deposits due to significant mortgage lending activity. BB&T also improved the mix of deposits by paying off $1.6 billion of higher-cost brokered deposits.

Borrowings

While client deposits remain the primary source for funding loan originations and other balance sheet growth, management uses short-term borrowings as a supplementary funding source for balance sheet growth. Short-term borrowings utilized by BB&T include Federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements, master notes, U.S. Treasury tax and loan deposit notes, borrowings under the treasury auction facility and short-term bank notes. At September 30, 2009, short-term borrowings totaled $8.4 billion, a decrease of $2.4 billion, or 22.5%, compared to December 31, 2008. The decrease in these borrowings compared to December 31, 2008 was primarily due to the pay down of these borrowings with the cash proceeds received from the Colonial acquisition.

For the third quarter of 2009, the average annualized FTE rate paid on short-term borrowings was .48% compared to 2.44% during the third quarter of 2008. The average annualized rate paid on short-term borrowed funds was .54% for the first nine months of 2009, a decrease of 230 basis points from the average rate of 2.84%

paid during the comparable period of 2008. The lower rate paid on short-term borrowed funds during the first nine months of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 was primarily the result of decreases in the Federal funds target rate.

BB&T also utilizes long-term debt to provide both funding, and to a lesser extent, regulatory capital. Long-term debt consists of Federal Home Loan Bank advances to Branch Bank, corporate senior and subordinated notes, senior and subordinated notes issued by Branch Bank, and junior subordinated debentures issued by BB&T. Long-term debt totaled $21.3 billion at September 30, 2009, an increase of $3.3 billion, or 18.2%, from the balance at December 31, 2008.

During the second quarter of 2009, BB&T issued $1.1 billion of senior unsecured notes. The notes were issued in two tranches, $510 million 5.70% fixed-rate notes due in 2014 and $541 million 6.85% fixed-rate notes due in 2019. The proceeds from the offering, combined with the common stock offering completed during the second quarter of 2009, and other funds, were used to fund the repurchase of the preferred stock issued to the U.S. Treasury. Also during the second quarter, BB&T recognized $36 million in gains related to the repurchase of $218 million of subordinated debt.

During the third quarter of 2009, BB&T Capital Trust VI issued $575 million of capital securities. The securities have a fixed interest rate of 9.60% and an initial maturity date of August 2064. These securities are fully guaranteed by BB&T and qualify as Tier 1 capital, subject to certain limitations. In addition, BB&T completed three separate issuances of senior debt during the third quarter for a total of $1.75 billion. BB&T issued $1.0 billion of senior notes, with a fixed interest rate of 3.85% that mature in 2012, $500 million of senior notes, with a fixed interest rate of 3.38%, that mature in 2013, and $250 million of senior notes, with a fixed interest rate of 3.10%, that mature in 2011. The proceeds from all of these offerings will be used for general corporate purposes. BB&T assumed $3.7 billion of FHLB advances in the Colonial acquisition, of which $2.8 billion were prepaid shortly after the acquisition.

Early in the fourth quarter, BB&T Capital Trust VII issued $350 million of capital securities. The securities have a fixed interest rate of 8.10% and an initial maturity date of November 2064. These securities are fully guaranteed by BB&T and qualify as Tier 1 capital, subject to certain limitations.

The average annualized rate paid on long-term debt for the third quarter of 2009 was 3.73% compared to 4.00% for the same period in 2008. The average annualized rate paid on long-term debt for the first nine months of 2009 was 3.74%, a decrease of 43 basis points compared to the first nine months of 2008. The decline in the cost of long-term debt resulted from decreases in the effective rates paid on the portion of BB&T’s long-term debt that was issued as a floating-rate instrument or swapped to a floating rate.

Shareholders’ Equity

Total shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2009 was $16.1 billion, a slight increase compared to December 31, 2008. BB&T’s book value per common share at September 30, 2009 was $23.41, compared to $23.16 at December 31, 2008.

As previously discussed under the section titled “Regulatory Considerations,” BB&T repurchased all of the preferred stock issued to the U.S. Treasury on June 17, 2009, which resulted in a decline of $3.1 billion in shareholders’ equity. This decline was partially offset by two common stock issuances. On May 13, 2009, BB&T issued 86.25 million shares of common stock at $20 per share for net proceeds of $1.7 billion, and on August 21, 2009, BB&T issued 38.5 million shares of common stock at $26 per share, leading to net proceeds of $963 million.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis—(Continued)

Third Quarter 2009

 

The August 21, 2009 offering was made in connection with the Colonial acquisition to further strengthen BB&T’s capital levels.

BB&T’s tangible shareholders’ equity available to common shareholders was $9.7 billion at September 30, 2009, an increase of $1.9 billion, or 25.0%, compared to December 31, 2008. BB&T’s tangible book value per common share at September 30, 2009 was $14.10 compared to $13.87 at December 31, 2008. As of September 30, 2009, measures of tangible capital were not required by the regulators and, therefore, were considered non-GAAP measures. Please refer to the section titled “Capital Adequacy and Resources” herein for a discussion of how BB&T calculates and uses these measures in the evaluation of the Company.

Asset Quality

BB&T experienced stable trends in early stage delinquencies and net charge-offs in the third quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2009, while nonperforming assets continued to increase reflecting the ongoing challenges in housing-related credits. The largest concentration of credit issues continues to be in Georgia, Florida and metro Washington, D.C., which includes the surrounding suburbs.

The majority of the loans acquired in the Colonial acquisition are covered by agreements with the FDIC, whereby the FDIC reimburses BB&T for the majority of the losses incurred. In addition, all of the loans acquired were recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date. Loans were evaluated and assigned to loan pools based on common risk characteristics. Generally the determination of the fair value of the loans resulted in a significant write-down in the value of the loans, which was assigned to an accretable or nonaccretable balance, with the accretable balance being recognized as interest income over the remaining term of the loan. In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, there was no allowance brought forward on any of the acquired loans, as the credit losses evident in the loans were included in the determination of the fair value of the loans at the acquisition date and are represented by the nonaccretable balance. The majority of the nonaccretable balance is expected to be received from the FDIC in connection with the loss share agreements and is recorded as a separate asset from the covered loans and reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As a result, all of the loans acquired in the Colonial acquisition were considered to be accruing loans as of the acquisition date. In accordance with regulatory reporting standards, covered loans that are contractually past due will continue to be reported as past due and still accruing based on the number of days past due. Because of the significant change in the accounting for the covered loans and the loss share agreements with the FDIC, management believes that asset quality measures excluding the covered loans are generally more meaningful. Therefore, management has included asset quality measures in Table 4-2 that both include and exclude the covered loans.

Nonperforming assets, which are composed of foreclosed real estate, repossessions, nonaccrual loans and certain restructured loans, totaled $4.1 billion at September 30, 2009, compared to $2.0 billion at December 31, 2008. The increase in nonperforming assets included an increase of $1.2 billion in nonperforming loans and $913 million in foreclosed assets, including $151 million in foreclosed property from the Colonial acquisition that is covered by the FDIC loss share agreements. The majority of the increase in foreclosed assets was related to securing title over projects in Georgia and Maryland. As a percentage of loans and leases plus foreclosed property, nonperforming assets were 3.78% at September 30, 2009 (or 3.95% excluding covered loans and foreclosed property) compared with 2.04% at December 31, 2008. Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest, excluding Colonial loans covered by FDIC loss share agreements, totaled $323 million at September 30, 2009, compared with $431 million at year-end 2008. Loans 30-89 days past due, excluding Colonial loans covered by FDIC loss share agreements totaled $1.7 billion at September 30, 2009, which was also a decline compared with $2.0 billion at year-end 2008.

Third Quarter 2009

 

BB&T’s net charge-offs totaled $446 million for the third quarter of 2009 and amounted to 1.71% of average loans and leases, on an annualized basis (or 1.79% excluding covered loans), compared to $242 million, or 1.00% of average loans and leases, on an annualized basis, in the corresponding period in 2008. Net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2009 were relatively stable compared to the second quarter of 2009. BB&T’s net charge-offs totaled $1.3 billion for the first nine months of 2009 and amounted to 1.70% of average loans and leases, on an annualized basis, (or 1.73% excluding covered loans) compared to $537 million, or .76%, of average loans and leases, on an annualized basis, in the corresponding period in 2008. The increase in net charge-offs was largely driven by challenges in the residential real estate market, which has resulted in increases in losses in the commercial, direct retail and mortgage portfolios.

The allowance for credit losses, which totaled $2.5 billion and $1.6 billion at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, consists of the allowance for loan and lease losses, which is presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments, which is included in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The allowance for loan and lease losses amounted to 2.29% of loans and leases held for investment at September 30, 2009 (or 2.49% excluding covered loans), compared to 1.62% at year-end 2008. The growth of $871 million in the allowance for credit losses reflects migrations of loans to higher risk grades, with the most significant increases occurring in the single family residential, acquisition, development, and construction loan portfolio and the consumer real estate portfolio.

The following table presents an estimated allocation of the allowance for loan and lease losses at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. This allocation of the allowance for loan and lease losses is calculated on an approximate basis and is not necessarily indicative of future losses or allocations. The entire amount of the allowance is available to absorb losses occurring in any category of loans and leases.

The residential acquisition, development and construction (“ADC”) loan portfolio totaled $6.3 billion at September 30, 2009, a decrease of $1.6 billion from December 31, 2008. Nonaccrual ADC loans were $765 million at September 30, 2009, an increase of $265 million, compared to $500 million at December 31, 2008. As a percentage of loans, ADC nonaccruals were 12.08% at September 30, 2009, compared to 6.27% at December 31, 2008. The allowance for loan and lease losses that is assigned to the ADC portfolio was 13.0% as of September 30, 2009, compared to 7.7% as of year-end 2008. The gross charge-off rate for the ADC portfolio,

Third Quarter 2009

 

on an annualized basis, was 6.35% for the third quarter of 2009, compared to 4.35% for the second quarter of 2009 and 1.83% for the full–year 2008. The other component of the commercial real estate portfolio, which is largely office buildings, hotels, warehouses, apartments, rental houses, and shopping centers, totaled $12.5 billion at September 30, 2009. As a percentage of loans, other commercial real estate nonaccruals were 2.35% at September 30, 2009, compared with .97% at December 31, 2008. The gross charge-off rate for the other commercial real estate portfolio, on an annualized basis, was 1.00% for the third quarter of 2009, up from .47% for the second quarter of 2009 and .25% for the full year 2008.

The residential mortgage loan portfolio, as presented in Table 5-2, totaled $15.7 billion as of September 30, 2009, a decrease of $1.7 billion from December 31, 2008. As a percentage of loans, residential mortgage loan nonaccruals were 4.31% at September 30, 2009, compared with 2.22% at December 31, 2008. The gross charge-off rate for the residential mortgage loan portfolio, on an annualized basis, was 2.00% for the third quarter of 2009, compared to 1.96% for the second quarter of 2009 and .57% for the full–year 2008.

The direct retail consumer real estate loan portfolio, as presented in Table 5-3, totaled $13.5 billion as of September 30, 2009, a decrease of $832 million from December 31, 2008. This portfolio is comprised of residential lot/land loans, home equity loans and home equity lines, which are primarily originated through the branch network. As a percentage of loans, direct retail consumer real estate nonaccruals were 1.35% at September 30, 2009, compared to .60% at December 31, 2008. The gross charge-off rate for the direct retail consumer real estate loan portfolio, on an annualized basis, was 1.63% for the third quarter of 2009, compared to 3.53% for the second quarter of 2009 and .71% for the full–year 2008. The decline in charge-offs in this portfolio was primarily due to lower losses on residential lot/land loans in the third quarter of 2009, including a $12 million charge-off reversal that resulted from receiving higher collateral valuations for certain properties where the estimated losses were recorded in the second quarter of 2009. The gross charge-off rate for the first nine-months of 2009, which eliminates the effect of the $12 million reversal on the second and third quarter of 2009 charge-off rates was 7.35% on an annualized basis. The allowance for the residential lot/land portfolio was 8.1% as of September 30, 2009.

ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated net income for the third quarter of 2009 totaled $157 million, a decrease of $205 million, or 56.6%, compared to $362 million earned during the third quarter of 2008. Net income available to common shareholders totaled $152 million, which generated diluted earnings per common share of $.23 in the third quarter. Net income available to common shareholders for the same period of 2008 totaled $358 million, which generated diluted earnings per common share of $.65. BB&T’s results of operations for the third quarter of 2009 produced an annualized return on average assets of .40% and an annualized return on average common shareholders’ equity of 3.90%, compared to prior year ratios of 1.05% and 10.86%, respectively.

Consolidated net income for the first nine months of 2009 totaled $683 million, a decrease of $539 million, or 44.1%, compared to $1.2 billion earned during the first nine months of 2008. Net income available to common shareholders totaled $544 million, which generated diluted earnings per common share of $.88. Net income available to common shareholders for the first nine months of 2008 totaled $1.2 billion, which generated diluted earnings per common share of $2.20. BB&T’s results of operations for the first nine months of 2009 produced an annualized return on average assets of .60% and an annualized return on average common shareholders’ equity of 5.09%, compared to prior year ratios of 1.21% and 12.46%, respectively.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income on an FTE basis was $1.3 billion for the third quarter of 2009 compared to $1.1 billion for the same period in 2008, an increase of $158 million, or 14.2%. For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, average earning assets increased $16.2 billion, or 13.4%, compared to the same period of 2008, while average interest-bearing liabilities increased $13.2 billion, or 12.4%, and the net interest margin increased from 3.66% in the third quarter of 2008 to 3.68% in the current quarter.

For the first nine months of 2009, net interest income on an FTE basis was $3.6 billion, an increase of $375 million, or 11.6%, compared to $3.2 billion for the same period in 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, average earning assets increased $14.2 billion, or 11.9%, compared to the same period of 2008, while average interest-bearing liabilities increased $9.8 billion, or 9.3%, and the net interest margin was 3.61% in the first nine months of 2008 and 2009. The improvement in net interest income compared to the first nine months of 2008 was caused by a combination of factors. First, earning asset growth has helped offset the declines in yields due to the rate environment. Second, management has been successful in controlling liability costs by engineering a favorable mix change in both deposit and funding costs. These positives were partially offset by higher levels of nonaccruals that have negatively affected net interest income and the net interest margin.

The following tables set forth the major components of net interest income and the related annualized yields and rates for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 compared to the same periods in 2008, as well as the variances between the periods caused by changes in interest rates versus changes in volumes. Changes attributable to the mix of assets and liabilities have been allocated proportionally between the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Third Quarter 2009

 

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses totaled $709 million for the third quarter of 2009, compared to $364 million for the third quarter of 2008. The provision for credit losses totaled $2.1 billion for the first nine months of 2009, compared to $917 million for the same period in 2008. The increase in the provision for credit losses was driven primarily by continued challenges in housing-related portfolios, including ADC, mortgage, home equity and consumer real estate, with the largest concentration of credit issues occurring in Georgia, Florida, and metro Washington D.C., which includes the surrounding suburbs. Nonperforming assets have continued to rise as a result of a weak economy and more distress by borrowers.

Net charge-offs were 1.71% of average loans and leases on an annualized basis (or 1.79% excluding covered loans) for the third quarter of 2009 compared to 1.00% of average loans and leases for the same period in 2008. Net charge-offs were 1.70% of average loans and leases (or 1.73% excluding covered loans) for the first nine months of 2009 compared to .76% of average loans and leases for the corresponding period in 2008. The allowance for loan and lease losses was 2.29% of loans and leases held for investment (or 2.49% excluding covered loans) and was .92x total nonperforming loans and leases at September 30, 2009, compared with 1.15x at September 30, 2008.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income as a percentage of total revenues has increased in recent years due to BB&T’s emphasis on growing its fee-based businesses. Fee-based service revenues lessen BB&T’s dependence on traditional spread-based interest income and are a relatively stable revenue source during periods of changing interest rates. Noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2009 totaled $940 million, compared to $792 million for the same period in 2008, an increase of $148 million, or 18.7%. Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 totaled $3.0 billion, compared to $2.4 billion for the same period in 2008, an increase of $574 million, or 24.0%. The growth in noninterest income was driven by net securities gains and strong performance from BB&T’s mortgage banking operations and insurance operations.

Mortgage banking income totaled $144 million in the third quarter of 2009, an increase of $61 million compared to $83 million earned in the third quarter of 2008. This increase includes the net change in the mortgage servicing rights valuation, which resulted in a decrease of $11 million compared to the third quarter of 2008. Excluding the impact of this change, mortgage banking income increased $72 million compared to the same quarter last year. The growth in mortgage banking income is primarily attributable to continued strong production revenues from residential mortgage banking operations. The higher mortgage originations reflect continued benefits from BB&T’s strong position in the market as a reliable lender and the favorable interest rate environment.

Mortgage banking income totaled $516 million in the first nine months of 2009, an increase of $317 million compared to $199 million earned in the first nine months of 2008. This increase includes the net change in the mortgage servicing rights valuation, which resulted in an increase of $48 million compared to the first nine months of 2008. Mortgage banking income for the first nine months of 2008 included certain one-time items associated with the implementation of fair value accounting standards that benefited results for the prior year by approximately $23 million. Excluding the impact of these items, mortgage banking income increased $292 million compared to the same period last year. The growth in mortgage banking income is primarily attributable to record production revenues from residential mortgage banking operations, including $22.9 billion in mortgage loan originations during the first nine months of 2009.

Insurance commissions, which are BB&T’s largest source of noninterest income, totaled $254 million for the third quarter of 2009, an increase of 9.5% compared to the same three-month period of 2008. For the first nine months of 2009, insurance income totaled $787 million, up $106 million, or 15.6%, compared to the same period last year. The increases in insurance revenues in 2009 compared to the corresponding periods of 2008 were primarily attributable to growth in property and casualty and employee benefit insurance commissions, including growth from acquisitions.

Other income, including service charges on deposits, investment banking and brokerage fees and commissions, checkcard fees, other nondeposit fees and commissions, trust and investment advisory revenues, bankcard fees and merchant discounts, and income from bank owned life insurance totaled $511 million for the third quarter of 2009, an increase of $47 million, or 10.1%, compared to the third quarter of 2008. The increase in the third quarter of 2009 primarily resulted from an increase of $18 million in income from financial assets that

Third Quarter 2009

 

provide for post-employment benefits. In addition, other nondeposit fees and commissions and checkcard fees improved by $12 million and $7 million, respectively, compared to the third quarter of 2008. The increase in other nondeposit fees and commissions was primarily due to an increase in letters of credit and other commercial loan servicing fees, as well as increased revenues from BB&T’s equipment finance business.

For the first nine months of 2009, other income totaled $1.5 billion, a slight increase compared to the first nine months of 2008. The increase in 2009 primarily resulted from increases of $36 million in income from financial assets that provide for post-employment benefits, $25 million in other nondeposit fees and commissions from higher letters of credit and commercial loan servicing fees, $24 million related to trading activities, and $14 million from additional checkcard fees that resulted from higher usage by clients due to increased checkcards in circulation. These increases in 2009 were partially offset by the $80 million gain recorded in the first nine months of 2008 in connection with BB&T’s ownership interest in Visa, Inc. In addition, bank-owned life insurance was up $10 million and trust and investment advisory revenues were down $14 million for the first nine months of 2009, compared with the corresponding period of 2008. The increase in bank-owned life insurance was the result of valuation charges of $15 million that were recorded in the 2008 period to reflect declines in the value of assets underlying separate account policies, whereas the decrease in trust and investment advisory revenues reflects lower asset values of the accounts managed, which is the basis for the fees generated.

Securities gains, net of losses and other-than-temporary impairment charges, totaled $31 million and $200 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, respectively. This compares to $13 million and $66 million in net securities gains during the third quarter and first nine months of 2008, respectively. As previously discussed, during the first nine months of 2009, BB&T sold $17.1 billion in securities available for sale, which produced net securities gains of $240 million. In addition, BB&T recorded $40 million in other-than-temporary impairment losses related to certain debt and equity securities during the first nine months of 2009, compared to $107 million in realized net securities gains and $41 million in other-than-temporary impairment charges during the corresponding period of 2008.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expenses totaled $1.3 billion for the third quarter of 2009, compared to $1.0 billion for the same period a year ago, an increase of $315 million, or 31.3%. Noninterest expenses totaled $3.6 billion for the first nine months of 2009, compared to $2.9 billion for the same period a year ago, an increase of $671 million, or 23.1%.

Personnel expense, the largest component of noninterest expense, was $644 million for the current quarter compared to $552 million for the same period in 2008, an increase of $92 million, or 16.7%. This increase was partially attributable to a $21 million increase in salaries and wages, including the impact of acquisitions, and an increase related to pension expense of $17 million. The increase in pension expense was primarily related to changes in actuarial calculations and declines in asset values. In addition, other post-employment benefits expense, production-based incentive compensation expense and medical benefits were higher by $18 million, $20 million and $10 million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2009 compared to the same period of 2008. For the first nine months of 2009, personnel expense totaled $1.9 billion, an increase of $203 million, or 12.2%, compared to the same period in 2008. This increase was primarily due to increases in salaries and wages and production-based incentive compensation expense of $62 million and $26 million, respectively. In addition, pension expense, other post-employment benefits expense and medical benefits expense were higher by $49 million, $29 million and $28 million, respectively, in the first nine months of 2009 compared to the same period of 2008. The increases for other post-employment benefit expense in 2009 compared to 2008 were offset by similar increases in other income, as previously discussed.

Third Quarter 2009

 

Occupancy and equipment expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 totaled $149 million, compared to $127 million for the third quarter of 2008, representing an increase of $22 million, or 17.3%. For the first nine months of 2009, occupancy and equipment expense totaled $406 million, compared to $374 million for the first nine months of 2008, representing an increase of $32 million, or 8.6%. The increases in 2009 compared to the corresponding periods of 2008 were primarily related to additional rent in connection with the Colonial acquisition and higher amortization expense for certain leasehold improvements.

Regulatory charges for the three months ended September 30, 2009 totaled $44 million compared to $8 million for the third quarter of 2008. For the first nine months of 2009, regulatory charges totaled $183 million, compared to $17 million for the first nine months of 2008. The increases in 2009 were largely a result of higher FDIC insurance expense, which was up $35 million and $167 million compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2008, respectively. The higher FDIC insurance expense reflects increased premiums charged by the FDIC as one step the FDIC has taken to insure they have adequate funding to resolve failed institutions. In addition to the higher premiums, the FDIC also levied a special assessment in the second quarter of 2009. The increase for the first nine months of 2009 compared to the corresponding period of 2008 includes $68 million related to the FDIC special assessment. The FDIC also proposed a rule to require that insured depository institutions prepay three years of assessments on December 31, 2009. Based on the current proposed rule, BB&T estimates that its portion of the prepayment will be between $650 million and $700 million. This amount would be expensed as incurred over the three-year period based on the actual FDIC assessment calculation.

Other noninterest expenses, including professional services, foreclosed property expenses, loan processing expenses, amortization of intangibles and merger-related and restructuring charges, totaled $483 million for the current quarter, an increase of $165 million, or 51.9%, compared to the same period of 2008. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $96 million in foreclosed property expense, $13 million in merger-related charges due to the Colonial acquisition and $13 million in professional services expense compared to the third quarter of 2008. In addition, BB&T accrued approximately $25 million for a contingency reserve in the third quarter of 2009. The increase in foreclosed property expense was caused by increased write-downs and other costs associated with the current credit-related challenges.

For the first nine months of 2009, other noninterest expenses totaled $1.1 billion, an increase of $270 million, or 32.0%, compared to the same period of 2008. The increase was primarily attributable to increases of $162 million in foreclosed property expense and $45 million in professional services expense compared to the same period of 2008, in addition to the $25 million contingency reserve discussed previously. Also, expenses in 2008 included the reversal of an accrual of $14 million related to BB&T’s obligations arising from its ownership interest in Visa, Inc. In addition, merger-related and restructuring charges were higher by $18 million in 2009, primarily as a result of the Colonial acquisition. Gains of $41 million and $37 million from the early extinguishment of certain long-term debt issuances were recorded in 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Merger-Related and Restructuring Activities

BB&T has incurred certain merger-related and restructuring expenses. Merger-related and restructuring expenses or credits include: severance and personnel-related costs or credits, which typically occur in corporate support and data processing functions; occupancy and equipment charges or credits, which relate to costs or gains associated with lease terminations, obsolete equipment write-offs, and the sale of duplicate facilities and equipment; and other merger-related and restructuring charges or credits, which include expenses necessary to convert and combine the acquired branches and operations of merged companies, direct media advertising related to the acquisitions, asset and supply inventory write-offs, investment banking advisory fees, and other similar charges. Merger-related and restructuring charges during the third quarters of 2009 and 2008 were $18 million and $5 million, respectively. For the first nine months of 2009 and 2008, merger-related and restructuring

Third Quarter 2009

 

charges totaled $29 million and $11 million, respectively. The increases in merger-related and restructuring charges in 2009 were largely a result of the Colonial acquisition.

At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, there were $28 million and $24 million, respectively, of merger-related and restructuring accruals. Merger-related and restructuring accruals are established when the costs are incurred or once all requirements for a plan to dispose of certain business functions have been approved by management. In general, a major portion of accrued costs are utilized in conjunction with or immediately following the systems conversion, when most of the duplicate positions are eliminated and the terminated employees begin to receive severance. Other accruals are utilized over time based on the sale, closing or disposal of duplicate facilities or equipment or the expiration of lease contracts. Merger and restructuring accruals are re-evaluated periodically and adjusted as necessary. The remaining accruals at September 30, 2009 are expected to be utilized during 2009, unless they relate to specific contracts that expire in later years.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was a $9 million benefit for the third quarter of 2009, a decrease of $158 million compared to the same period of 2008, primarily due to lower pretax income. In addition, BB&T recognized a tax benefit of $12 million in the third quarter of 2009 related to certain leveraged lease transactions. For the first nine months of 2009, the provision for income taxes was $146 million, a decrease of $379 million compared to the same period of 2008, primarily due to lower pre-tax income. BB&T’s effective income tax rates for the first nine months of 2009 and 2008 were 17.6% and 30.1%, respectively. The lower effective tax rate is primarily the result of an increase in tax credits as well as a relatively equal level of tax-exempt income on a lower level of pre-tax income.

BB&T has extended credit to and invested in the obligations of states and municipalities and their agencies, and has made other investments and loans that produce tax-exempt income. The income generated from these investments, together with certain other transactions that have favorable tax treatment, have reduced BB&T’s overall effective tax rate from the statutory rate in 2009 and 2008.

BB&T continuously monitors and evaluates the potential impact of current events and circumstances on the estimates and assumptions used in the analysis of its income tax positions and, accordingly, BB&T’s effective tax rate may fluctuate in the future. On a periodic basis, BB&T evaluates its income tax positions based on tax laws and regulations and financial reporting considerations, and records adjustments as appropriate. This evaluation takes into consideration the status of current taxing authorities’ examinations of BB&T’s tax returns, recent positions taken by the taxing authorities on similar transactions, if any, and the overall tax environment in relation to tax-advantaged transactions. Accordingly, the results of these examinations may alter the timing or amount of taxable income or deductions or the allocation of income among tax jurisdictions. In addition, BB&T may make payments or deposits to the IRS in connection with tax disputes to stop the accrual of additional interest and penalties while it pursues resolution of these matters.

BB&T has received notification of proposed IRS adjustments related to foreign tax credits claimed by a subsidiary for tax years 2002-2007. Management has consulted with outside counsel and continues to believe that BB&T’s treatment of these issues was appropriate and in compliance with the tax laws and regulations applicable to the years examined and intends to pursue available regulatory and legal remedies to defend BB&T’s position. Management believes the Company’s current reserves for this matter are adequate, although the final outcome is uncertain. In addition, BB&T may make payments or deposits to the IRS in connection with this matter to stop the accrual of additional interest and penalties while it pursues resolution. Resolution of this matter is not expected to occur within the next 12 months.

MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT

The effective management of market risk is essential to achieving BB&T’s strategic financial objectives. As a financial institution, BB&T’s most significant market risk exposure is interest rate risk; however, market risk also includes product liquidity risk, price risk and volatility risk. The primary objective of interest rate risk management is to minimize any adverse effect that changes in interest rates may have on net interest income. This is accomplished through active management of asset and liability portfolios with a focus on the strategic pricing of asset and liability accounts and management of appropriate maturity mixes of assets and liabilities. The goal of these activities is the development of appropriate maturity and repricing opportunities in BB&T’s portfolios of assets and liabilities that will produce consistent net interest income during periods of changing interest rates. BB&T’s Market Risk and Liquidity Committee monitors loan, investment and liability portfolios to ensure comprehensive management of interest rate risk. These portfolios are analyzed for proper fixed-rate and variable-rate mixes under various interest rate scenarios.

The asset/liability management process is designed to achieve relatively stable net interest margins and assure liquidity by coordinating the volumes, maturities or repricing opportunities of earning assets, deposits and borrowed funds. It is the responsibility of the Market Risk and Liquidity Committee to determine and achieve the most appropriate volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as to ensure an adequate level of liquidity and capital, within the context of corporate performance goals. The Market Risk and Liquidity Committee also sets policy guidelines and establishes long-term strategies with respect to interest rate risk exposure and liquidity. The Market Risk and Liquidity Committee meets regularly to review BB&T’s interest rate risk and liquidity positions in relation to present and prospective market and business conditions, and adopts funding and balance sheet management strategies that are intended to ensure that the potential impact on earnings and liquidity as a result of fluctuations in interest rates is within acceptable standards.

BB&T uses a variety of financial instruments to manage various financial risks. These instruments, commonly referred to as derivatives, primarily consist of interest-rate swaps, swaptions, caps, floors, collars, financial forward and futures contracts, when-issued securities and options written and purchased. A derivative is a financial instrument that derives its cash flows, and therefore its value, by reference to an underlying instrument, index or referenced interest rate. BB&T uses derivatives primarily to manage risk related to securities, business loans, Federal funds purchased, other overnight funding, long-term debt, mortgage servicing rights, mortgage banking operations and certificates of deposit. BB&T also uses derivatives to facilitate transactions on behalf of its clients.

Derivative contracts are written in amounts referred to as notional amounts. Notional amounts only provide the basis for calculating payments between counterparties and do not represent amounts to be exchanged between parties, and are not a measure of financial risk. As of September 30, 2009, BB&T had derivative financial instruments outstanding with notional amounts totaling $69.6 billion. The estimated net fair value of open contracts was $382 million at September 30, 2009.

See Note 13 “Derivative Financial Instruments” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” herein for additional disclosures related to BB&T’s derivative financial instruments.

The majority of BB&T’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature and, therefore, differ greatly from most commercial and industrial companies that have significant investments in fixed assets or inventories. Fluctuations in interest rates and actions of the Federal Reserve Board to regulate the availability and cost of credit have a greater effect on a financial institution’s profitability than do the effects of higher costs for goods and services. Through its balance sheet management function, which is monitored by the Market Risk and Liquidity Committee, management believes that BB&T is positioned to respond to changing needs for liquidity, changes in interest rates and inflationary trends.

Management uses Interest Sensitivity Simulation Analysis (“Simulation”) to measure the sensitivity of projected earnings to changes in interest rates. The Simulation model projects net interest income and interest rate risk for a rolling two-year period of time. Simulation takes into account the current contractual agreements that BB&T has made with its customers on deposits, borrowings, loans, investments and any commitments to enter into those transactions. Management monitors BB&T’s interest sensitivity by means of a computer model that incorporates the current volumes, average rates earned and paid, and scheduled maturities and payments of asset and liability portfolios, together with multiple scenarios of projected prepayments, repricing opportunities and anticipated volume growth. Using this information, the model projects earnings based on projected portfolio balances under multiple interest rate scenarios. This level of detail is needed to simulate the effect that changes in interest rates and portfolio balances may have on the earnings of BB&T. This method is subject to the accuracy of the assumptions that underlie the process, but management believes that it provides a better illustration of the sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest rates than other analyses such as static or dynamic gap. In addition to Simulation analysis, BB&T uses Economic Value of Equity (“EVE”) analysis to focus on changes in capital given potential changes in interest rates. This measure also allows BB&T to analyze interest rate risk that falls outside the analysis window contained in the Simulation model. The EVE model is a discounted cash flow of the entire portfolio of BB&T’s assets, liabilities, and derivatives instruments. The difference in the present value of assets minus the present value of liabilities is defined as the economic value of BB&T’s equity.

The asset/liability management process requires a number of key assumptions. Management determines the most likely outlook for the economy and interest rates by analyzing external factors, including published economic projections and data, the effects of likely monetary and fiscal policies, as well as any enacted or prospective regulatory changes. BB&T’s current and prospective liquidity position, current balance sheet volumes and projected growth, accessibility of funds for short-term needs and capital maintenance are also considered. This data is combined with various interest rate scenarios to provide management with the information necessary to analyze interest sensitivity and to aid in the development of strategies to reach performance goals.

The following table shows the effect that the indicated changes in interest rates would have on net interest income as projected for the next twelve months under the “most likely” interest rate scenario incorporated into the Simulation model. Key assumptions in the preparation of the table include prepayment speeds of mortgage-related assets, cash flows and maturities of derivative financial instruments, loan volumes and pricing, deposit sensitivity, customer preferences and capital plans. The resulting change in interest sensitive income reflects the level of sensitivity that interest sensitive income has in relation to changing interest rates.

The Market Risk and Liquidity Committee has established parameters measuring interest sensitivity that prescribe a maximum negative impact on net interest income of 2% for the next 12 months for a linear change of 100 basis points over four months followed by a flat interest rate scenario for the remaining eight month period, and a maximum negative impact of 4% for a linear change of 200 basis points over eight months followed by a flat interest rate scenario for the remaining four month period. In the event that the results of the Simulation model fall outside the established parameters, management will make recommendations to the Market Risk and Liquidity Committee on the most appropriate response given the current economic forecast. Management only modeled a negative 25 basis point decline in the current period because larger declines would have resulted in a Federal funds rate of less than zero.

The following table shows the effect that the indicated changes in interest rates would have on EVE as projected under the “most likely” interest rate scenario incorporated into the EVE model. Key assumptions in the preparation of the table include prepayment speeds of mortgage-related assets, cash flows and maturities of derivative financial instruments, loan volumes and pricing, and deposit sensitivity. The resulting change in the economic value of equity reflects the level of sensitivity that EVE has in relation to changing interest rates.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY AND RESOURCES

The maintenance of appropriate levels of capital is a management priority and is monitored on a regular basis. BB&T’s principal goals related to the maintenance of capital are to provide adequate capital to support BB&T’s comprehensive risk profile, preserve a sufficient capital base from which to support future growth, provide a competitive return to shareholders, comply with regulatory standards and achieve optimal credit ratings for BB&T and its subsidiaries.

Management regularly monitors the capital position of BB&T on a consolidated basis. In this regard, management’s overriding policy is to maintain capital at levels that will result in BB&T being classified as “well-capitalized” for regulatory purposes and to maintain sufficient capital relative to the Corporation’s level of risk. Secondarily, it is management’s intent to maintain consolidated capital levels that result in regulatory risk-based capital ratios that are generally comparable with BB&T’s peers of similar size, complexity and risk profile. Further, management particularly monitors and intends to maintain the following minimum capital ratios:

 

Tier 1 Capital Ratio

   8.50

Total Capital Ratio

   12.00

Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio

   7.00

Tangible Capital Ratio

   5.50

Tier 1 Common Equity Ratio

   6.50

While nonrecurring events or management decisions may result in the Corporation temporarily falling below its minimum guidelines for one or more of these ratios, it is management’s intent through capital planning to return to these targeted minimums within a reasonable period of time. Such temporary decreases below these minimums are acceptable provided the Corporation, Branch Bank and BB&T FSB remain “well-capitalized.”

Financial holding companies and their bank subsidiaries are subject to regulatory requirements with respect to risk-based capital adequacy. Capital adequacy is an important indicator of financial stability and performance. Risk-based capital ratios measure capital as a percentage of a combination of risk-weighted balance sheet and off-balance sheet risk. The risk-weighted values of both balance sheet and off-balance sheet items are determined in accordance with risk factors specified by federal bank regulatory pronouncements. As of September 30, 2009, federal bank regulators did not prescribe measures of tangible capital and, therefore, these measures were considered non-GAAP. BB&T uses the Tier 1 common equity definition used in the SCAP assessment to calculate measures of tangible capital and Tier 1 common capital. BB&T’s management uses these measures to assess the quality of capital and believes that investors may find them useful in their analysis of the Corporation. These capital measures are not necessarily comparable to similar capital measures that may be presented by other companies. Please refer to the section titled “Capital” in BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 for additional information with regard to BB&T’s capital requirements.

BB&T’s regulatory and tangible capital ratios for the last five calendar quarters are set forth in the following table. The increase in BB&T’s regulatory capital in the fourth quarter of 2008 was largely due to the U.S. Treasury’s preferred stock investment. As previously discussed in the section titled “Regulatory Consideration”, BB&T repaid the U.S. Treasury during the second quarter of 2009, which resulted in a decline in BB&T’s regulatory capital levels. The decline as a result of the repayment of the preferred stock investment was partially offset by a $1.7 billion common stock issuance that was completed in May 2009. BB&T issued an additional $963 million of common stock in August 2009 in connection with the Colonial acquisition. The $2.6 billion of additional common stock improved BB&T’s Tier 1 common equity capital ratios.

(1) Current quarter regulatory capital information is preliminary.
(2) Tangible common equity and Tier 1 common equity ratios are non-GAAP measures. BB&T uses the Tier 1 common equity definition used in the SCAP assessment to calculate these ratios. BB&T’s management uses these measures to assess the quality of capital and believes that investors may find them useful in their analysis of the Corporation. These capital measures are not necessarily comparable to similar capital measures that may be presented by other companies.
(3) Risk-weighted assets are determined based on regulatory capital requirements. Under the regulatory framework for determining risk-weighted assets each asset class is assigned a risk-weighting of 0%, 20%, 50% or 100% based on the underlying risk of the specific asset class. In addition, off balance sheet exposures are first converted to a balance sheet equivalent amount and subsequently assigned to one of the four risk-weightings.
(4) Prior to December 2008, BB&T had a net deferred tax liability.

Liquidity represents BB&T’s continuing ability to meet funding needs, including deposit withdrawals, timely repayment of borrowings and other liabilities, and funding of loan commitments. In addition to the level of liquid assets, such as trading securities and securities available for sale, many other factors affect BB&T’s ability to meet liquidity needs, including access to a variety of funding sources, maintaining borrowing capacity in national money markets, growing core deposits, the repayment of loans and the ability to securitize or package loans for sale. The ability to raise funding at competitive prices is affected by the rating agencies’ views of BB&T’s and Branch Bank’s credit quality, liquidity, capital and earnings. Management meets with the rating agencies on a routine basis to discuss the current outlook for BB&T and Branch Bank. Please refer to BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 for disclosures related to BB&T’s and Branch Bank’s credit ratings and liquidity.

Several of the ratings agencies have taken actions during 2009 related to BB&T’s and Branch Bank’s credit ratings as further disclosed below.

On April 22, 2009, Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) announced a downgrading of BB&T’s long-term ratings by one notch, from “Aa3” to “A1,” and a downgrading of the financial strength rating of Branch Bank and BB&T FSB from “B+” to “B.” Moody’s confirmed a “negative” outlook on BB&T’s investment-grade ratings. The ratings downgrade was based upon concerns related to the Corporation’s real estate portfolio in light of the weak housing market and broader economic turmoil.

On June 17, 2009, Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) downgraded BB&T’s long-term credit rating to “A” from “A+” and provided a “stable” outlook due to S&P’s expectation that asset quality and earnings will remain under pressure through 2010.

On July 17, 2009, Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”) downgraded BB&T’s long-term issuer default rating to “A+” from “AA-” due to increased credit issues across various portions of BB&T’s consumer and commercial loan portfolios caused by the deteriorating economic environment. In addition, Fitch revised BB&T’s credit trend from negative watch to negative outlook.

Also on July 17, 2009, DBRS confirmed the ratings of BB&T and Branch Bank, including BB&T’s Issuer & Senior Debt at “AA (low).” The trend for all ratings remains Stable. The rating action follows a review by DBRS of BB&T’s operating performance, financial fundamentals and future prospects. On August 17, 2009, DBRS revised their outlook from stable to negative.

As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”), BB&T is required to maintain a minimum investment in capital stock. The board of directors of the FHLB can increase the minimum investment requirements in the event it has concluded that additional capital is required to allow it to meet its own regulatory capital requirements. Any increase in the minimum investment requirements outside of specified ranges requires the approval of the Federal Housing Finance Board. Because the extent of any obligation to increase BB&T’s investment in the FHLB depends entirely upon the occurrence of a future event, potential future payments to the FHLB are not determinable.

Share Repurchase Activity

BB&T has periodically repurchased shares of its own common stock. In accordance with North Carolina law, repurchased shares cannot be held as treasury stock, but revert to the status of authorized and unissued shares upon repurchase.

On June 27, 2006, BB&T’s Board of Directors granted authority under a plan (the “2006 Plan”) for the repurchase of up to 50 million shares of BB&T’s common stock as needed for general corporate purposes. The 2006 Plan also authorizes the repurchase of the remaining shares from the previous authorization. The 2006 Plan remains in effect until all the authorized shares are repurchased unless modified by the Board of Directors. No shares were repurchased in connection with the 2006 Plan during the third quarter of 2009.

SEGMENT RESULTS

BB&T’s operations are divided into seven reportable business segments: the Banking Network, Residential Mortgage Banking, Sales Finance, Specialized Lending, Insurance Services, Financial Services and Treasury. These operating segments have been identified based primarily on BB&T’s organizational structure. See Note 14 “Operating Segments” in the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” contained herein for additional disclosures related to BB&T’s reportable business segments. Fluctuations in noninterest income and noninterest expense incurred directly by the operating segments are more fully described in the sections titled “Noninterest Income” and “Noninterest Expense” of this discussion and analysis. The following table reflects the net income (loss) for each of BB&T’s operating segments for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The $339 million decrease in net income attributable to the Banking Network segment is primarily caused by higher provision for credit losses, FDIC insurance and foreclosed property expenses. The $83 million increase in net income attributable to the Residential Mortgage Banking segment was due to record residential mortgage production revenues and from improved hedge performance of mortgage servicing assets. The decline in net income attributable to the Sales Finance segment was primarily caused by higher provision for credit losses. The increases in net income attributable to the Specialized Lending and Financial Services segments were primarily attributable to increased net interest income, with Specialized Lending benefiting from growth in the loan portfolio and Financial Services experiencing increased earnings from funding sources. The increase in net income attributable to the Insurance Services segment is primarily due to improved operating leverage from acquisitions. The $224 million decrease related to Parent/Reconciling Items is largely due to increased intersegment net referral expense, higher provision for credit losses, increased noninterest expense related to the FDIC special assessment, and reduced noninterest income from lower 2009 trading account securities gains.

Please refer to “Market Risk Management” in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section herein.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the management of the Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). This evaluation did not include an assessment of those disclosure controls and procedures that are subsumed by, and did not include an assessment of internal control over financial reporting as it relates to, the assets and deposits of Colonial Bank’s banking operations acquired or assumed by BB&T on August 14, 2009.

Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective so as to enable the Company to record, process, summarize and report in a timely manner the information that the Company is required to disclose in its Exchange Act reports.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except as described below, there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

On August 14, 2009, BB&T acquired or assumed certain assets and liabilities of Colonial Bank’s banking operations from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The internal control over financial reporting of Colonial Bank’s banking operations was excluded from the evaluation of the effectiveness of BB&T’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the period end covered by this report. The acquired or assumed assets and liabilities of Colonial Bank represent 8.5% of BB&T’s total consolidated assets, and 11.2% of BB&T’s total consolidated liabilities, respectively, as of and for the period end covered by this report. There is no material impact to BB&T’s total consolidated revenue due to the Colonial Bank acquisition for the period covered by this report.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The nature of the business of BB&T’s banking and other subsidiaries ordinarily results in a certain amount of litigation. The subsidiaries of BB&T are involved in various legal proceedings, all of which are considered incidental to the normal conduct of business. Based on information currently available, advice of counsel, available insurance coverage and established reserves, BB&T’s management believes that the liabilities, if any, arising from these proceedings will not have a materially adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows of BB&T. However, in the event of unexpected future developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, if unfavorable, may be material to BB&T’s consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. In addition to the risk factors in BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, the following supplemental risk factors related to the Colonial Bank acquisition should be carefully considered. These risks could materially affect BB&T’s business, financial condition or future results, and are not the only risks BB&T faces. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to BB&T or that management has deemed to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect BB&T’s business, financial condition, and/or operating results.

Changes in national and local economic conditions could lead to higher loan charge-offs in connection with the Colonial Bank acquisition all of which may not be supported by the loss sharing agreements with the FDIC.

In connection with the Colonial Bank acquisition, Branch Bank acquired a significant portfolio of loans. Although Branch Bank marked down the acquired loan portfolio, there is no assurance that the loans acquired will not suffer further deterioration in value resulting in additional charge-offs to this loan portfolio. The fluctuations in national, regional and local economic conditions, including those related to local residential, commercial real estate and construction markets, which may increase the level of charge-offs that Branch Bank makes to its loan portfolio, and, consequently, reduce BB&T’s net income, may also increase the level of charge-offs on the loan portfolio that was acquired in the acquisition of Colonial Bank and correspondingly reduce BB&T’s net income. These fluctuations are not predictable, cannot be controlled and may have a material adverse impact on BB&T’s operations and financial condition even if other favorable events occur. See “Risk Factors—Changes in national and local economic conditions could lead to higher loan charge-offs and reduce BB&T’s net income and growth” and “Risk Factors—Weakness in the markets for residential or commercial real estate, including the secondary residential mortgage loan markets, could reduce BB&T’s net income and profitability” in BB&T’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 for more information on the factors affecting the levels of these charge-offs.

Although Branch Bank entered into loss sharing agreements with the FDIC, which provide that a significant portion of losses related to specified loan portfolios that were acquired in connection with the acquisition of Colonial Bank will be borne by the FDIC, Branch Bank is not protected for all losses resulting from charge-offs with respect to those specified loan portfolios. Additionally, the loss sharing agreements have limited terms; therefore, any charge-off of related losses that Branch Bank experiences after the term of the loss sharing agreements will not be reimbursed by the FDIC and will negatively impact BB&T’s net income. In connection with the acquisition of Colonial Bank, Branch Bank also acquired certain loan portfolios that are not subject to the loss sharing agreements. Any charge-offs related to these loan portfolios will be borne by Branch Bank in full and would also negatively impact BB&T’s net income.

BB&T may fail to realize any benefits and incur unanticipated losses related to the assets of Colonial Bank that Branch Bank acquired and the liabilities of Colonial Bank that were assumed.

The success of the Colonial Bank acquisition will depend, in part, on BB&T’s ability to successfully combine the acquired business and assets with BB&T’s business and BB&T’s ability to successfully manage the significant loan portfolio that was acquired. As with any acquisition involving a financial institution, particularly one like Colonial Bank with a large number of bank branches, there may be business and service changes and disruptions that result in the loss of customers or cause customers to close their accounts and move their business to competing financial institutions. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of ongoing business, or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely affect BB&T’s ability to maintain relationships with clients, customers, depositors and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition. Successful integration may also be hampered by differences between the two organizations. Although BB&T had significant operations in most of the regional markets in which Colonial Bank operated, other than Alabama, Nevada and Texas, the loss of key employees of Colonial Bank could adversely affect BB&T’s ability to successfully conduct business in certain local markets in which Colonial Bank operated, which could have an adverse effect on BB&T’s financial results. Integration efforts will also divert attention and resources from BB&T’s management. Additionally, general market and economic conditions or governmental actions affecting the financial industry generally may inhibit the ability to successfully integrate Colonial Bank. If BB&T experiences difficulties with the integration process, the anticipated benefits of the acquisition may not be realized fully, or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected. Finally, any cost savings that are realized may be offset by losses in revenues or other charges to earnings.

BB&T’s Exchange Act reports contain limited financial information on which to evaluate the acquisition of Colonial Bank.

The acquisition of the banking operations and certain assets of Colonial Bank is a significant acquisition for BB&T; however, BB&T’s Exchange Act reports contain limited financial information on which to evaluate the acquisition of Colonial Bank. BB&T’s Exchange Act reports may not contain all of the financial and other information about Colonial Bank and the assets that were acquired that investors may consider important, including information related to the loan portfolio acquired and the impact of the acquisition on BB&T.

BB&T will be expanding operations into new geographic areas.

Portions of the market areas represented by Colonial Bank, including those in Alabama, Nevada and Texas, are areas in which BB&T historically conducted limited or no banking activities. In particular, Colonial Bank had significant operations in Alabama, where BB&T previously had a very limited presence. BB&T must effectively integrate these new markets to retain and expand the business currently conducted by Colonial Bank. The ability to compete effectively in the new markets will be dependent on BB&T’s ability to understand the local market and competitive dynamics and identify and retain certain employees from Colonial Bank who know their markets better than BB&T does.

Prior to the acquisition, Colonial Bank was the subject of several regulatory investigations and a criminal investigation in connection with accounting irregularities and these investigations may require significant resources and management attention.

Prior to the acquisition, Colonial Bank was the subject of a federal criminal investigation relating to the bank’s mortgage warehouse lending division and related accounting irregularities. Colonial Bank also had recently received subpoenas from the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program and the SEC. Although the assets and liabilities that the FDIC determines are related to alleged fraudulent or criminal activities will be excluded from the acquisition of Colonial Bank, during the process of integrating Colonial Bank

Table of Contents

with Branch Bank, BB&T may discover other inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely affect BB&T’s ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition of Colonial Bank. Additionally, BB&T will need to ensure that the banking operations of Colonial Bank that were acquired maintain effective disclosure controls as well as internal controls and procedures for financial reporting, and such compliance efforts may be costly and may divert the attention of management.

The Colonial Bank acquisition has increased Branch Bank’s commercial real estate and construction loan portfolio, which have a greater credit risk than residential mortgage loans.

With the acquisition of the Colonial Bank loan portfolio, the commercial loan and construction loan portfolios have become a larger portion of Branch Bank’s total loan portfolio than it was prior to the Colonial Bank acquisition. This type of lending is generally considered to have more complex credit risks than traditional single-family residential lending, because the principal is concentrated in a limited number of loans with repayment dependent on the successful operation of the related real estate or construction project. Consequently, these loans are more sensitive to the current adverse conditions in the real estate market and the general economy. These loans are generally less predictable and more difficult to evaluate and monitor and collateral may be more difficult to dispose of in a market decline.
